In the game, India scored 192/2 after Hong Kong put them in to bat thanks to a magnificent 28-ball 62* from Suryakumar Yadav and an unbeaten 44-ball 59 from Virat Kohli.
India had a sluggish start and appeared to be headed for a low total, but Suryakumar increased the stakes late to enable India to finish well. He scored 12 runs, including four in the last over, on six fours and six sixes.
During the Powerplay, Hong Kong demonstrated some promise with the bat, but as India’s spinners came on, they lost steam.
They were led by Babar Hayat’s 41 off of 35 balls, and Kinchit Shah’s 30 off of 28. Hong Kong ultimately received a score of 152/5.
Hong Kong needs to defeat Pakistan in the last Group A match in order to have any chance at moving on to the Super-4 stage of the Asia Cup.
