India and Hong Kong performed their earlier two contests in Asia Cups (2008, 2018) within the ODI format. This would be the first time the 2 sides will mark their first assembly in a T20I. If India beat Hong Kong tonight, they may transfer into the Tremendous 4s the place they’re prone to meet arch-rivals Pakistan once more on September 4. India beat Pakistan of their first match of Asia Cup 2022 by 5 wickets to start out their marketing campaign on a vibrant observe. Hardik needs to be again within the taking part in XI for that match.
