Analysis:
India pulled off an incredible victory in their opening Asia Cup game as they put forth an overall team effort. The bowlers started off the proceedings with incredible performances by Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya. Similarly, batters also put in a decent shift with the biggest positive being Virat Kohli’s solid 35 run-knock which will instill some confidence in the modern master.
Hong Kong would hope to keep their incredible run of form going from the Qualifiers to the group stage. They were dominant in the qualifying round and found ways to come back from precarious situations. Ehsan Khan, Yasim Murtaza and Nizakat Khan have been on the top of their game and the team would be hoping they can pull off a similar performance against India which won't be easy against the number 1 team in the world.
