Hong Kong suffered a heavy defeat of 155 runs in their final group match against Pakistan.
Hong Kong might have failed to win a single match in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 in the UAE, but they can certainly be proud of their journey and, of course, they won many hearts with their fight against India.
The Hong Kong team suffered its first setback against India when they were subjected to a 40-run defeat in their opening group match in the ongoing Asia Cup, and then Pakistan crushed their hopes of making it to the Super 4s of the tournament on Friday (September 2).
The Men in Green defeated Hong Kong by 155 runs in the final group match to become the fourth and final team after Afghanistan, India, and Sri Lanka to qualify for the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup.
However, it was a massive defeat for Hong Kong, as it ended their journey in the Asia Cup, but the players were all smiles in their dressing room, as they enjoyed some delightful time with the Pakistani players after the match.
In a video shared by the PCB on Twitter on Saturday (September 3), players of both teams were seen shaking hands with each other while some of the Pakistani players signed some jerseys and bats for the Hong Kong cricketers. Even spinner Mohammad Nawaz was seen giving some suggestions to Hong Kong players.
