*Official* Asia Cup 2018 in UAE

Last thing I want to see is HK losing with wickets in hand. They need to bat like it's a 48 over game.

***** is probably pacing the room unable to sit still watching this.

It is going to be hard for new batsmen to start scoring immediately on this pitch. These two need to be there for a few more overs.

Yea Nizakat looks tired too. I think a wicket is around the corner. India playing really smart cricket here - basically taking a backseat and leaving the onus on HK to go out there and win the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if dhawan gets a five wicket haul here

HK must keep the required RR under 8

Is Shardul in contention for World cup? Why don't they keep Umesh and Shami warm as backup for 2 Bs!

Platform being set here for Babar to smash us to victory

Wow

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Are we witnessing history

Good of Thakur to come back just when Hong Kong were flagging.

 

[harsh.ag]

Beautiful time to bring in Thakur. Just as they had built up pressure.

 

[vcs]

They must be favourites with the bookies by now, surely?

 

[Borges]

Hong Kong should win this easily now, unless they panic badly.

 

[cnerd123]

Is anyone still supporting to India to win, or are we all now cheering for HK?

GA YAU HONG KONG!

 

[trundler]

Thakur does not deserve to represent a test playing nation at this level. He's just awful. Go Hong Kong!

Not close, HK are sill about 2.50 to win.

Dropping quickly now though.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Thakur is good for nothing. Everytime I see him he gets smashed

HK need to ask themselves.. Do they want to leave 70 to win off the last 10? If not they need to push hard from the 35th over and try to finish this by the 48th over. If I'm HK then I want a maximum of 62 to win when 40 overs are bowled. That means I want to push for 8s off the next 7 overs. I say this with 10wkts in hand. It would be criminal to fall behind the rate + lose with wickets in hand now.

Lack of batting depth could bite them. I want them to push after drinks to lower the RRR
