What a fabulous start to their Asia Cup 2022 campaign it was as India beat their rivals Pakistan in a thrilling last-over encounter in Dubai. Now, the action continues in Dubai as we move to Match 4 of the tournament where the men in blue will play their second game. This one will be against Hong Kong who made it through the qualifiers where they won three out of three games to reach the main draw of the 2022 Asia Cup.
Now while India is a strong favourite, the toss is of vital importance here in Dubai because the team batting second has won almost all of the recent T20 internationals here. India won’t forget how Hong Kong almost pulled off a shock victory the last time they met in an ODI in 2018, but it’s their first clash in the T20 format.

India
It’s a good chance today for KL Rahul to find some form as he didn’t manage runs against Zimbabwe and was bowled for a golden duck against Pakistan as well. He makes our IND vs HK fantasy team as we think he needs some time in the middle to get some runs and confidence. Virat Kohli had fire in his eyes and hit a couple of sweet pull shots against Pakistan and we’re hoping he comes to his best in this game.
With the ball, India has found a new weapon in the shorter delivery and Hardik Pandya used that to perfection in the opening game. He’s a good bet to be the player of the match yet again and we’re picking him as captain of our IND vs HK Dream11 team. The question will be if Dinesh Karthik continues to be picked over Rishabh Pant and we’d back that selection of India’s from the last game, also picking Arshdeep Singh with the ball.
Hong Kong
When these teams last played, Kinchit Shah was the main wrecker of the Indian batting order, picking up three wickets and he’ll be hoping he can replicate that performance in the T20 Asia Cup as well. HK captain Nizakat Khan has been in good form in recent times with scores of 39 and 50 in the last couple of games of the 2022 Asia Cup Qualifier and the last time these two teams met, he almost scored a century as well.

Yasim Murtaza is a great pick for today’s MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) IND vs HK fantasy team because he’s been in great form in the 2022 Asia Cup so far, scoring 100+ runs and also picking up 3 wickets in the three qualifiers games. Hes worth picking as fantasy captain or vice-captain while Mohammad Ghazanfar is a good pick because the Indian top order has shown a weakness to playing leg-spin in the past.
