The fourth match of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 will see India taking on Hong Kong in Dubai tomorrow at 7.30 PM IST. 

Riding on Hardik Pandya's spectacular all-round prowess, India managed a thumping five-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday. On the other hand, this will be first game for Hong Kong in the tournament. So, while India would like to seal their super-four spot, Hong Kong's primary aim would be to upset their counterparts. 

Match Details

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
Live Streaming: Star Sports and Hot Star

Pitch Report: From what we have seen so far, the track at Dubai offers significant assistance to seamers across both innings. We have seen some movement as well as some extra bounce troubling the batters at the venue. However, as the teams bowling first have won on both occasions, we expect the toss-winner to field first in tomorrow's encounter.

Key Player Matchups

Suryakumar Yadav vs Yasim Murtaza

image-l7gd103vSuryakumar Yadav in action

Statistically, star Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav averages a mere 20.06 against left-arm off-spinners in the shortest format. Hong Kong's Yasim Murtaza is a bowler of similar kind, who picked three wickets in the Asia Cup qualifier at a meagre economy of 4.50. Considering these facts, we reckon this battle to be an interesting one. 

Babar Hayat vs Arshdeep Singh

Babar Hayat, the backbone of Hong Kong's batting lineup, averages just 18.33 against left-arm seamers in T20Is. So, his battle with Arshdeep Singh will be something to watch out for tomorrow.
