The Asia Cup has started already and the first game is between Afghanistan and Hong Kong. It is going to be a one-sided game for the team Afghanistan, so we can say Afghanistan is going to take with the good start and being motivated for the further games. They have already made 110 runs and lost only 4 wickets. Still five overs remaining in the innings and they can get to a decent score.
Afghanistan was also playing in the most recent Tri Nation series, we have seen that their bowling attack is really good, but they should have to take care of their batting attack but I don't think so against Hong Kong, Afghanistan has to be in any kind of preparation.
The first game of Asia T20 cup was played between Afghanistan and Hong Kong in which Hong Kong lost badly by a huge margin. Afghanistan opened with Sediqullah and Rahmanullah who scored 25 runs partnership due to unferperformance by Gurbaz they couldn't make it a great partnership. Afghanistan lost 2 wickets at short intervals then muddle order player scored some runs to make the target big. Hong kong eliminated 5 players easily but one middle order player was hard to eliminate. With his 53 runs Afghanistan ended up with 188 runs target. Hong Kong being a less experi team and they were playing first time against Afghanistan so they were under pressure from the start. Hong Kong lost very early wickets. The one down player Babar was able to score 39 runs while rest of the team struggled and they were eliminated aithout any major contribution. Afghanistan knocked out nine player at 94 runs and overs vanished. Hong Kong lost this game badly by a huge margin.
