KUW vs HK Preview

Kuwait will be confident because they have only lost once in their last 10 games at this location.
Hong Kong has only ever triumphed once at this location, losing the other four contests.
Meet Bhavsar and Ravija Sandaruwan, Kuwait’s starting pair, are in good shape, which could give the team confidence.

In the fourth match of the Round-Robin portion of the 2022 Asia Cup Qualifier, Hong Kong will face Kuwait. The match will be contested on Tuesday, August 22, at 18:00 local time at the Oman Cricket Academy Ground, Turf 1 in Muscat.

Hong Kong defeated Singapore by an eight-run margin in their opening match of the qualifier. Ehsan Khan, a 37-year-old off-spinner, successfully defended the 150 total that Singapore was chasing by taking 3-27 and winning Player of the Match. Hong Kong will have been unhappy with their total of 148-9, an innings in which just one-six was hit, despite Khan’s excellent bowling. The game’s highest scorer was Kinchit Shah, but he and all of his teammates will be aiming to increase their strike rates.

When Kuwait defeated UAE on Sunday night by a single wicket, it represented the tournament’s first major upset this year. When veteran opener Chirag Suri hit 88 runs against them, it appeared as though they would be thoroughly defeated. However, Kuwait’s batters played with an extraordinary mentality, which put the team’s run chase ahead of any individual totals or averages. At the top of the order, Ravija Sandaruwan scored 34 runs off of 25 balls, demonstrating to his teammates that you could bat freely and put the UAE bowlers under pressure.

KUW vs HK Weather Report

On August 23, clear skies are expected over Al Amerat, and it will probably be a warm evening.

KUW vs HK Match Toss Prediction

This wicket has historically favored teams who have chased. We anticipate a great batting surface where it would be difficult for any team to get up a total. We have observed people chasing large scores. Therefore, on this wicket, the team winning the toss is likely to choose to bowl first.

KUW vs HK Pitch Report

The Oman Cricket Academy Ground, Turf 1, in Muscat will host the game. Although the pitch has provided some aid to pace bowlers, spinners have so far in Muscat extracted the most movement from the ball.

The fact that their opponents have an accomplished bowling assault means that Nizakat Khan and Yasim Murtaza must get off to a strong start. Since Ateeq Iqbal and Haroon Arshad bowled effectively in the last game, they will need to perform well in this one as well.
