Singapore will be taking on Hong Kong in the first match of the Asia Cup Qualifier in Oman. Will Singapore keep their recent history aside and get a win or will Hong Kong will be the winners of the first game?
Singapore
Singapore's recent form has not been great with them winning only two games in their last ten games. They have lost all six T20 games that they have played. Chandramohan will be the main man to lead the charge with the bat for Singapore. They will be backing on the experience of Manpreet Singh and Janak Prakash to lead them to victory.
Singapore Predicted Lineup
Manpreet Singh (wk), Rezza Gaznavi, Surendran Chandramohan, Arjun Mutreja, Navin Param, Aryaman Uchil, Janak Prakash, Akshay Roopak Puri, Amjad Mahboob (C), Neil Karnik, Anantha Krishna
Hong Kong
Hong Kong have average performance in recent times. Having played Asia Cup before, they are going into the tournament as huge favourites to win the game. They have beaten Singapore in the most recent game last month. Nizakat Khan is leading the team. Hong Kong only won two out of five games coming into this one. They are the favourites and they will be hoping for a dominating performance on the field.
