Is the HK middle order particularly solid, or could one wicket be followed by several?

We have Babar Hayat who is quality, but yea the rest could collapse quickly.

However, I'd back them to chase 100 odd to win. The top 3 needs to take a big chunk out of the score, and the middle/lower order could finish it.

It's not. Number three is a good bat, but that's it. Top 3 need to score the bulk.

 

[Bijed]

Reading their timeline and they interacting with their fans telling them to comeback to them when they've chased this down Love minnow confidence

They're also giving likes to what feels like every tweet that mentions @CricketHK. ***** is truly running the show there

Oh well. At least they're off to a great start.

Oh man these are the days ***** lives for and he has been telling us about and dreaming about.

 

[cnerd123]

Gotta play off Kedar cautiously here. **** has a knack of taking jammy wickets.

 

[Howe_zat]

This is the first time I've seen Kedar Jadhav bowl and have found myself googling venereal diseases in order to find something to compare it to.

 

[Borges]

Woo! This has got interesting!

 

[Burner]

Hong Kong have moxie. As long as they play the game with this attitude, the results will come.

 

[Agricultural]

Absolutely. 2 men set and a good bat to come. They are still in a great pos

 

[Howe_zat]

There's so much pressure on them to keep up the running between the wickets. Done well with it so far. Anushman was looking a bit second fiddle earlier but has looked very professional against the spinners.

 

[Howe_zat]

India fans - what normally happens when Kedar Jadhav gets a wicket? Does reality fluctuate? Does fire rain from the sky?

He's generally better against weaker teams like Australia. Shouldn't be bowling him here.

I mean, we did win 5 games in a row to get to this position. The results have been coming for quite a while. Just one bad week in Zimbabwe during the WCQs, and we lose ODI status, despite being one of the best teams in WCL 1 for several years.

Associate cricket is so cut-throat now, if you an off day at the wrong time you're suddenly demoted to the bottom of the heap.

 

[harsh.ag]

Jadhav's brand of voodoo only works against non-Asian sides

 

[cnerd123]

Highest ODI partnership ever for any Associate nation against India

Previous best - 121 by Otieno and Shah for Kenya.

 

[CricAddict]

HK looking good here. But have a feeling that they'll lose their way to Indian spinners once a wicket falls.

Yeah probably. They're starting to fall behind the rate a bit now too - something'll give soon

 

[Borges]

They should just keep this partnership going for another six or seven overs, even if the asking rate rises a bit.
