Asia Cup: Nizakat Khan’s Unbeaten 52 Takes Hong Kong To 149/4 Against Sri Lanka
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Nizakat Khan’s unbeaten 52 off 38 balls powered Hong Kong to a competitive 149/4 against Sri Lanka in their Asia Cup Group B clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday.
On a fresh pitch, Nizakat used his feet well, and capitalised on pace from the Sri Lankan bowlers to hit just the second fifty by a Hong Kong batter in the tournament’s history after Babar Hayat. His 61-run stand with Anshuman Rath, who hit a 46-ball 48, ensured Hong Kong posted a total they can hope to defend against Sri Lanka.
Pushed into batting first, Hong Kong had luck on their side when Zeeshan Ali and Rath hit three boundaries between themselves in the first three overs. Zeeshan was more luckier of the two – surviving an lbw appeal off Nuwan Thushara and later being dropped at backward point off the pacer.
