Team News:
Pakistan:
Pakistan has lost its opening encounter against arch-rivals India by 5 wickets. However, now Pakistan needs a win here to confirm their participation in the Super 4 stage of the tournament. In the game against India, except Rizwan, no batter looked well touched as a result India thrashed them.
The bowling department of Pakistan looks decent with Naseem Shah, the talented youngster who puts the magic in the unit. He was seen to be unwell during his last over in the match against India. However, as per reports he is now well and is available to play in this must-win game.
Hong Kong:
However, for Hong Kong, it's their last opportunity to be one of the teams in the super 4. Although they ended up on the losing side they played brilliantly against India. Now, they will be looking to turn things their way against Pakistan to confirm their participation in the super 4. Hayat and Shah are the two batsmen who stood against India in the difficult run chase of 192. They will be looking to keep the momentum going against Pakistan also. Any one of these two teams will knock out in this game.
