Pakistan vs Hong Kong, Asia Cup 2022: Live streaming, where to watch

Pak vs HK: Pakistan to face Hong Kong in a must-win game in the Asia Cup 2022. After India, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka's entry into the super fours, Pakistan would be the last team to enter the Super 4

Pakistan will face Hong Kong in the sixth match of the Asia Cup 2022. As Afghanistan, India and Sri Lanka are in the super fours, Pakistan might have a higher chance to play against India in the super fours of Asia Cup 2022.

Whoever loses today will be out of the tournament. Yesterday, 2018 runner-ups Bangladesh made an unexpected exit after losing against Sri Lanka in the final over. Pakistan also lost their last match against India by a close margin and would be hoping to come back in today's match.

After a good performance in the Asia Cup qualifiers, Hong Kong failed to manage its reputation after losing against India by a good margin. On the other hand, Pakistan's batting lineup appeared to struggle against pace bowling.

The situation is similar to the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka match, where both teams had already lost to the table toppers. If we compare the two matches, Pakistan's bowling is still its strength with Naseem Shah, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz looking in good. While Babar Azam failed to explode in the last match, he will need a good innings to get back on track.

Hong Kong was not as miserable as it could have been against India. Most teams succumb while chasing a 190+ total. Batsmen Babar Hayat, Kinchit Shah and Zeeshan Ali did try their best to score but failed against the strong Indian bowling lineup. Today, they have the last chance to prove their mettle and make their place in the super fours.

It is highly unlikely that Pakistan will lose against Hong Kong. However, Google suggests that Pakistan has a 96% chance of winning, while Hong Kong has only a 4%. In general, Google prediction depends on various factors such as the team's performance during the match, previous records and potential.

The Pakistani batting line-up is filled with a few big names such as Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammed Rizwan and Asif Ali. All these players have a track record of proving exceptional in knockout matches. While bowlers such as Naseem Shah, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Shah are good, there is a chance that Mohammad Hasnain will replace Naseem Shah in today's match.
