“This victory is dedicated to all those affected by #FloodsInPakistan. We are playing for our people. You are all in our hearts. To everyone who can help, please donate to flood relief funds across the country. Apne logon ki madad kerein. #PakistanZindabad,” Pakistan National Cricket Team vice-captain Shadab Khan tweeted after the victory over Hong Kong National Cricket Team.

Pakistan National Cricket Team defeated Hong Kong National Cricket Team by 155 runs in their first-ever T20I meeting to advance to the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup. This was Pakistan’s first T20I victory in 2022. Also, the 155-run win over Hong Kong is Pakistan’s biggest margin of victory in T20I history.

Batting first, Pakistan scored 193/2 with the help of Mohammad Rizwan’s fine 78 runs knock, Fakhar Zaman’s good 53 runs knock and Khushdil Shah’s quickfire 35 runs knock.

Chasing the target, Hong Kong struggled against the Pakistan bowling unit and they were bundled out for 38.
