Knew it.
Short notice tour + away from home + multiple rain interruptions = recipe for upset.
We better win the next 4 games.

Bowling looked rusty too today. That's what happens when our only turf training facility is shut for a large period of time due to Chinese New Year + Coronavirus.
Doesn't change the fact that we're just not a great T20I side. Lack the firepower to score at 9 RPO consistently.

What ever happened to Babar Hayat?

He decided he didn't want to play for HK anymore, as did two of our frontline quicks Ehsan Nawaz and Tanveer Ahmed.

Yeah they rage quit after Tanwir was sacked as captain right? Babar was a genuinely good bat too, a particularly big loss on the back of Rath getting stars in his eyes.

They rage quit because Tanwir was left out of the squad for the WT20 qualifiers. Anshuman was already captain for quite some time before that.
Tough start for Trent Johnston to come in and have 3 of your starting XI rage quit on you, followed by your best player deciding to go and play in India. Then he has to cope with the fact that all our home tournaments are getting scrapped, first due to protests, then due to coronavirus. Barely any turf training facilities atm too - I think they have used KCC a bit recently, but the main ground (Mission Road) has been shut for over a month now.
Nightmare season allround
We better smash Malaysia tonight

2nd T20I about to start and once again it's raining right after the toss. Malaysia won the toss and opted to bat first against too. FFS
this weather is conspiring against us
two changes in the XI for HK. Surprised they left out Mohsin Khan, but i suppose this tour is also about getting game time into the squad before the ACC Eastern Region T20 tournament in Thailand next week. While it would be ideal to smash Malaysia, I guess it's more important that the team get enough preparation ahead of the main tournament.
