Afghanistan dominated Group B in the Asia Cup 2022 and India dominated Group A, with the latter beating Pakistan and then also dominating Hong Kong in a one-sided encounter. Now, these two teams that India defeated will face off in a virtual knockout game in Match 6 of the 2022 Asia Cup, both looking at a victory to qualify to the Super Fours stage of the tournament, the loser being knocked out.
The action moves to Sharjah for the second game here in this tournament so far. Historically speaking, spinners have done brilliantly in T20 internationals here, with 8 of the 9 wickets to fall in the Bangladesh vs Afghanistan game going to spinners itself. Pakistan are huge favourites but we aren’t ruling HK out of the contest. Keep reading for our complete MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) PAK vs HK fantasy preview…

Pakistan
Talking about spinners doing well here, Mohammad Nawaz is the main spinner for Pakistan and his talent was on display against India too, where he picked the prized wicket of Virat Kohli at a crucial moment. Leg-spinner Shadab Khan is also worth adding to your PAK vs HK fantasy team because he bats higher up the order in T20s as well, maximising your chances of earning some fantasy points in this game.
The heat caught up with 19-year old Naseem Shah in the last game and Pakistan wouldn’t want to risk it with him, so Mohammad Hasnain could be the likely replacement if Naseem isn’t 100% fit. With the bat, Mohammad Rizwan changes gears well in the T20 format and we’re adding him to our PAK vs HK Dream11 team, while we think there’s massive potential with the big-hitter Khushdil Shah.
Hong Kong
When this team took on India, Babar Hayat played some clean shots in the early overs and though he hasn’t got too many great scores in recent months, he has been their leading batting talisman over the years. Another option with the bat could be left-handed opener Yasim Murtaza because he will bow out his four overs as well, and he’s a very good gamble to pick as either fantasy captain or vice-captain for this match.

Talking about spin bowling all-rounders, there’s Kinchit Shah who proposed to his girlfriend after the last game against India and he’s also been enjoying a good time with the bat in recent games, so don’t leave him out of your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) PAK vs HK fantasy team.
