🏏T20 Asia Cup 2025- AFG vs HK 1st Match, Group B, Abu Dhabi🏏 - Page 10

17.3

Ehsan Khan to Azmatullah, 2 runs, dropped! Rath the culprit this time. The disappointing part is the senior members of Hong Kong have been poor in the field.

Jale pe namak

17.4

Ehsan Khan to Azmatullah, SIX, Azmatullah pumps the next ball out of the park

End of over 18:the score is 155/4 AFG

18.2

Ayush Shukla to Azmatullah, SIX, this is even better. Azmatullah is playing a blinder. Full pitcher around off, he makes room and gets under the length,

18.1

Ayush Shukla to Azmatullah, SIX, runs coming at a rapid pace now. 113.8ks slower ball bowled into the surface, but Azmatullah charges down and creates his own pace, flat-bats it down the ground and sends it sailing in front of the sightscreen

18.4

Ayush Shukla to Azmatullah, FOUR, fifty for Azmatullah. Maiden T20I fifty and it has come off 20 balls. High full toss, around the waist and Azmatullah plays a cheeky steer, opens the bat face and guides it fine to third man. This is turning into a fine knock from him

18.5

Ayush Shukla to Azmatullah, out Caught by Aizaz Khan!! Shukla has the wicket but the damage has been done. That doesn't stop him from celebrating, Azmatullah c Aizaz Khan b Ayush Shukla 53(21) [4s-2 6s-5]

Ayush Shukla to Azmatullah, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

AFG ends with 188 on board

189 to win for HK

78 runs from the last 5 overs.

It was absolute carnage towards the end which was helped by some poor fielding. Sediqullah Atal, who was dropped in the first over, carries his bat through the innings.

AFG 188/6

Nothing against you,
But please don't tag me in Asia Cup games
I won’t be watching it.

I've generally not been someone who hates the BCCI. In fact, I've defended them many times in the past.
But their decision regarding the Asia Cup has really annoyed me this time, and I’m choosing not to watch it.

I still want India to do well, especially against weaker teams.
But if there’s an India vs Sri Lanka final, I genuinely hope Sri Lanka wins.

And honestly, the next time any Indian cricketer talks about being "on national duty" or claims to "love India", I’ll just laugh.
Because the Indian team would have ignored this irrelevant Asia Cup.

I really hope TRP kam aaye, stadium na bhare.

This isn’t Team India playing its Team BCCI.

If it were truly about representing India, they wouldn’t shamelessly participate in something as irrelevant as this Asia Cup.

BCCI is seriously soo shameless and disrespectful. Absolutely pathetic.

Well they had the option & and they chose to play with a nation that does not respect India. Bilateral bhi kyun boycott karna, woh bhi shauq se khelo. Dikhave ki zaroorat nahi when it's apparent that BCCI ko paison se matlab hai, emotions se nahi. Emotions chodo, self respect bhi nahi hai.

Palak, it's not like cricketers get much of a say in front of BCCI. They have their careers at stake & are pretty much under the thumb of BCCI. Agar unke paas option hoke kya woh log boycott karenge ya nahi, yeh hum shayad keh nahi sakte but don't think they have much of a choice here.

What a finish! 78 runs from the last 5 overs. It was absolute carnage towards the end which was helped by some poor fielding. Sediqullah Atal, who was dropped in the first over, carries his bat through the innings. That was not the only chance he got, there were couple more drops and he made the most of it. Kept one end busy and accelerated once he reached fifty. But the impetus to the innings was first given by Nabi and then Azmatullah. The pair were the enforcers and added 50+ partnerships with Sediqullah. Hong Kong have themselves to blame, they were really poor in the field and that is putting it mildly. They not only dropped 4 catches but there were countless fumbles as well and now they are chasing a daunting total. They will have to bat out of their skins to even get close to this total.
