Pakistan vs Hong Kong Prediction: Pakistan to be the last team to qualify for Super fours

After losing against their arch-rivals, Pakistan will take on Hong Kong in a do-or-die match against Hong Kong of the Asia Cup group stage at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Will Hong Kong create an upset or Pakistan finally qualify for Super fours?

Pakistan was good in patches and was able to put India under lots of pressure. They fell short of 10-15 runs which caused their downfall. They will be roaring to go again with responsibility on Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan to make the most out of the situation. Naseem Shah bowled extremely well in the last game but suffered cramps in the later half of the innings. Pakistan is going as favourites into the game.

Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Shahnawaz Dahani

Hong Kong was unbeaten in Asia Cup qualifiers which were held before this tournament. They were beaten by India by 40 runs in their first game. Nizakat Khan and Babar Hayat will be looking to attack with the bat against the Pakistani bowling lineup. They have a good batting side and they can dominate Pakistan in that respect. Hong Kong will be aiming to create a massive upset in this T20 game by beating Pakistan.

The pitch will help the batters as we have seen historically from Sarjah pitch. The game between Afghanistan and Bangladesh saw bolwers dominate the game so it can be a two paced pitch. We can expect Pakistan to win the game but expect a close game to be played out here.

• Total Runs, Over Number 1 Under 5.5 for 1.725;
