Hong Kong would look to put their best foot forward when they step on the field in the first match of the Asia Cup 2025 against an in-form Afghanistan.
The team will rely on the top three batters to deliver a strong performance, as they are the most experienced batters in the Hong Kong batting lineup and would also back themselves to do the same.
The two were also a part of the team in the 2022 edition of the Asia Cup, where Hong Kong made it to the main round and were clubbed with India and Pakistan in one group.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Martin Coetzee, Zeeshan Ali, Kalhan Challu, Kinchit Shah, Anas Khan
As far as the makeup of Hong Kong's middle-order batting is concerned, it comprises names like Martin Coetzee, Zeeshan Ali, Kalhan Challu, Kinchit Shah, and Anas Khan
Having said that, the onus to score the bulk of the runs for the team would be on batter Kinchit Shah, who will act as the backbone of the team's batting, given the amount of experience the individual has under his belt
Bowlers: Yasim Murtaza (c), Mohammad Waheed, Nizakat Khan, Ehsan Khan
Hong Kong will go in the match against Afghanistan, which is also the tournament opener, with four specialist bowlers, including three spinners and one pacer.
The surface in question is predicted to offer a lot of assistance for the spinners, and not only in Hong Kong, but we shall see most of the teams relying heavily on spin, which should play a vital role if dew doesn't dictate the outcome of the match.
Taking that into account, the likes of captain Yasim Murtaza, Nizakat Khan, and Ehsan Khan will take care of Hong Kong's spin bowling department, with Mohammad Wahid being the only fast bowler.
