Hong Kong got off to a winning start at the 2022 Asia Cup Qualifiers and they’re at the top of the points table right now, with the best net run rate. They played in the last T20 Asia Cup as well and are hot contenders to qualify once again. They beat Singapore in their opening game and now, they’re up against a lesser exposed side in Kuwait who are underdogs but not a team you can take lightly here.
While HK had a convincing victory to begin with, Kuwait managed to get over the line against UAE with just one ball to spare, and just one wicket left too. It was the first time they beat UAE in a T20I and they’ll be looking to repeat the feat against HK but it’s going to be tough as the latter has quite a few experienced campaigners.

Numbers
- Head to head in T20Is, these two haven’t played.
- Ravija Sandaruwan – six consecutive double-digit scores.
- Nizakat Khan – six single-digit scores in last 10 outings.
Kuwait
With wickets in all of his last four international appearances and 14 of them in his last 10 games, Sayed Monib is a good pick with the ball as he has the will to do well, also being there as Kuwait got across the line against UAE in the 2022 Asia Cup Qualifier itself. Another person who showed great character is Edson Silva, smashing 25(14) when all hope seemed gone for them. He bowls too and must make your KUW vs HK Dream11 team today.
Captaining the side is Mohammed Aslam and he had a rare off day with the ball, going wicketless in his two overs. However, he’s regularly among the wickets for them and in the last game, he proved he can get some runs too, scoring 19(11) in a crucial stage. Both of the Kuwait openers are in good form and they both got starts and 20+ scores in the UAE game as well, so pick both of Meet Bhavsar and Ravija Sandaruwan, the latter being their top scorer at this venue.
Hong Kong
Captain and opener Nizakat Khan was dismissed for a duck in the last game and he’s got many low scores in recent games but when he kicks off, he goes big. His last 10 games also includes two fifties, one score of 48 and one massive scores of 127* against Jersey, so we’re picking him in our KUW vs HK fantasy team. Babar Hayat also failed in the last game with 6 but remember, he’s still the only batter in T20 Asia Cup history to have a century to his name!

We have a fantasy captain or vie-captain option in Kinchit Shah who scored 34 in the last game and also picked a wicket in his 2 overs. He picked a 3-fer in the last Asia Cup against India and has a thing for doing well on the big stage, so pick him in your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) KUW vs HK fantasy team. Ehsan Khan is their most experienced bowler but one of the youngsters wo impressed with 2/20 in his 4 overs against Singapore is Mohammad Ghazanfar.
