Team India continued their dominance in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022.
Asked to bat first, the Men in Blue posted a massive 192/2 in their allotted 20 overs on the back of unbeaten half-centuries from Suryakumar Yadav (68* off 26 balls) and Virat Kohli (59* off 44 balls).
Ayush Shukla was the pick of the bowlers for Hong Kong, returning with the figures of 1 for 29 in his four overs.
Defending the total, the Men in Blue restricted Hong Kong to 152/5. Ravindra Jadeja starred with the ball for India as he claimed a wicket by conceding just 15 runs in his four overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1-15) too bowled economically and picked a scalp in his three overs.
It was a disappointing batting display from Hong Kong. While some batters got starts, they failed to convert it into a substantial score. Babar Hayat was the top scorer with 35-ball 41.
With this victory, India also became the second team after Afghanistan to make it to the Super 4s of the Asia Cup 2022.
For their all-round brilliance, Rohit Sharma and his men received rich praise from the cricket fraternity on Twitter.
