The Men in Blue will be looking to keep up the winning momentum going against Hong Kong on Wednesday.

In the bowling department, Bhuvneshwar Kumar took four wickets to restrict the opponent to an average total.
Later, with the help of Kohli, Jadeja, and finally Hardik, India chased down the target. Rishabh Pant dropped in the first game as Dinesh Karthik replaced him in the playing xi. India is expected to keep the same xi against Hong Kong also.
