Pakistan have entered the Super Four of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 after registering a humungous victory against Hong Kong at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday.
After being put to bat first, the Men in Green posted an enormous 193/2 on the board in their allotted 20 overs. Mohammad Rizwan was the star of the night f💯or Pakistan with an unbeaten knock of 78 runs from just 57 deliveries with the help of seven boundaries, including a six.
Apart from the wicketkeeper-batter, Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah also chipped in with valuable contributions to take the team to a formidable total. While Zaman scored 53 off 41 balls, Khushdil smashed🎉 a quickfire 15-ball 35.
In response, Hong Kong were completely dominated by the Pakistan bowling attack, as no batter could score in double digits. Hong Kong’s captain Nizakat Khan, with 8 off 13 deliveꩲries, was their top scorer as the entire team was bundled out for a mere 38 in 10.4 ov💛ers.
Shadab Khan picked up four wickets for just 8 runs in 2.4 overs, while Mohammad Nawaz bagged a three-wicket hau꧒l while conceding only 5 runs in 2 overs.

Strike Rate at the top need to pick up,battin🌌g at the top must evolve into a more proactive&aggressive 😼approach, esp when the top 3 play 60-70% of the balls
