Hong Kong Beat Nepal by 5 Wickets at World T20 Qualifier

Screen Shot 2015-07-16 at 04.53.00

Hong Kong finally found their groove at the ICC World T20 Qualifier to beat Nepal by 5 wickets with 5 balls remaining.

Hong Kong, who won the toss and elected to field, tore the Nepal top order apart with Haseeb Amjad taking two wickets in his first over and a third in his second to have Nepal 17/4 after 6.1 overs. Hong Kong’s bowlers kept the pressure up taking wickets regularly and bowling Nepal out off the last ball of the twentieth over.

Man of the Match Haseeb Amjad with those three early wickets was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4-for-16 from his four overs. Aizaz Khan was miserly conceding just 7 runs in four overs while taking the wicket of Regmi.

In reply Hong Kong lost Irfan Ahmed early but calm batting from Anshuman Rath on debut and top scorer Nizakat Khan steadied the nerves and Hong Kong cruised to their first win after a loss in game 1 and a no-result in game 2.
