Pakistan vs Hong Kong fantasy tips

Babar Azam 

The Pakistan skipper had a rare failure with the bat getting out for just 10 runs in the last match against India. The upcoming match against Hing Kong will be an ideal opportunity for the opener to get some runs.

Mohammad Rizwan 

The wicketkeeper-batter had to work hard for his 43 runs against India as Pakistan lost the match in the last over. The upcoming match against Hong Kong will be an opportunity for the opener to get back his rhythm and make a big score.

Babar Hayat 

The top-order batter was Hong Kong's most successful batter scoring 41 runs off 35 deliveries. His ability to keep the scoreboard ticking by also scoring runs at a brisk pace makes him a must-buy.

Mohammad Nawaz

The left-arm spinner was the most successful bowler for Pakistan against India picking up three wickets. Not only did Nawaz dismiss Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja he almost took the team past the finish line before the heroics of Hardik Pandya. He will be expected to play a similar role for Pakistan in this game.
