Predicted 11: India VS Hong Kong – Asia cup 2018
​
Hey Guys, it is me back again with my second blog. So, in my next few blogs I will be talking about the Asia Cup 2018. Today I am going to talk about India’s first fixture against Hong Kong.
India would start off as certain favorites in this Group A fixture & Hong Kong is a relatively weak team. Hong Kong is less experienced also. So I feel India should test new players & rest some experienced campaigners for the match against Pakistan. India should not be complacent as they have lost to Kenya twice because of over confidence. They still can afford to try new people.
Here is my choice of the India playing 11 for match against Hong Kong.
Openers: Rohit Sharma (Captain) and Shikhar Dhawan
Top Order: Lokesh Rahul, Dinesh Karthik and MS Dhoni (Wicket Keeper)
Middle Order: Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel
Bowlers: Shardul Thakur (Pacer), Yuzvendra Chahal (Spinner) and K Khaleel Ahmed (Pacer)
Here is what I think will be playing 11 of Hong Kong
Openers: Anshuman Rath (captain) and Nizakat Khan
Top Order: Babar Hayat, Kinchit Shah and Waqas Khan
Middle Order: Aizaz Khan, Scott McKechnie, Ehsan Khan
Bowlers: Ehsan Nawaz, Tanwir Afzal and Nadeem Ahmed
Tomorrow’s match can be quite interesting and some of the key battles can be:
Babar Hayat vs Yuzvendra Chahal: Babar is one of the best batsman Hong Kong has ever had. It would be interesting to see how he battles out Yuzvendra Chahal, one of India’s best spinner in this series.
Shikhar Dhawan vs Ehsan Khan: Shikhar, a fierce Indian opening batsman who struggles a bit against left arm spin would like to go all out on Ehsan Khan. One of Hong Kong’s best left arm spinner Ehsan Khan would like to get Shikhar Dhawan early on. It would be a thrilling battle.
So, guys this is my second blog, on Hong Kong vs India match. I hope you liked my blog. I would like you to answer some of my questions.
