World T20, 5th Match, First Round Group A: Afghanistan v Hong Kong

Hong Kong has won the toss and elected to bat.

 

[10sion]

Last match Afghanistan lost a wicket first ball and this time they take a wicket first ball.

Hong Kong 0/1.

 

[desi_launda]

chittagong has grassy pitches

 

[Sakss]

Good Start by Atkinson

 

[WebGuru]

A good start by HK! skipper trying to lead from the front and attack bowlers.

 

[Myrmidon]

Nice aggressive ball by Dawlat, should stifle the batsman

 

[WebGuru]

Poor kid

 

[WebGuru]

Dawlat in the mood to murder this kid on field

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Thank god he had helmet. He would have lost all his teeth if not his life had he not had any helmet.

 

[Myrmidon]

It was bowled at 142 KPH, would have caused more than just tooth loss

 

[Myrmidon]

This is a really good start by Hong Kong

Wonder if they will open with Najibullah like I suggested, and keep MS down the order, they already dropped the two seniors and the brother sifarish from the team, so maybe somebody clearly values my opinion

 

[WebGuru]

What a fielding mess lol

 

[Myrmidon]

) Hamza Hotak

HAHAHAH

Screw the run out, give me a hug stumps

 

[IJWBS]

Afghan fielding

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Going by the names most of the HK players are Pakistani expats.

At least 8 out of the current playing 11 are pakistani born players and if we look at their squad of 15 thn there are a total of 11 players out of 15.

Another interesting fact is that a total of 36 Pakistani born players are participating in this World T20 and representing 6 different teams.

This new batsmen is 25 years old. Yeah right.

 

[saeedhk]

4....

 

[saeedhk]

Gone!

 

[crick23]

Come on Hong Kong!

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan B playing nice

 

[saeedhk]

Good shot for 4..

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

who do you guys is favourite to win halfway through

 

[Myrmidon]

This is a pretty big total for a weak and shaky Afghan batting line up, they will certainly be better than the last day but, they seem to not even care anymore, laughing in the field after fielding mistakes, the only player looking angry after every mistake is Samiullah.

Horrible attitude, and it does not help when Kabir Khan is laughing during fielding mistakes either. Horrible and very unprofessional from the team. I wonder if he even gave out to them after the shameless and gutless batting performance against Bangladesh.

@OsmanSamiuddin: As @anandvasu mentioned, Afghanistan a bit cocky today. Bit of a strut in tourn generally. Chimes with what PCB official said recently 1/2

Like I said above then, anybody with good observation skills can see that. It is not good, this is when you know that younger hungry players are a must

 

[Asif321]

all the praise which Afghanistan got will be lost today i hope not

 

[Mamoon]

Afghanistan have clearly lost the script. Looks like the win over Bangladesh in the Asia Cup got to their heads.

Having said that, I think this game is still 50-50. Perhaps tilted slightly towards Afghanistan.

 

[Electron]

That boundary from Shahzadd )

 

[WebGuru]

Brainfaart by Shehzad but thanks to Hong Kong fielding )

 

[WebGuru]

Aizaz Khan is the only Pakistani in this team who was born in Hong Kong but still his fielding shows he is pure Pakistani blood

 

[Sakss]

45-1 in 8 overs

 

[Myrmidon]

When Shahzad plays sensibly he is a good player, it is sad he had such a massive brainnfart against Bangladesh

 

[Electron]

Helicopterrrr 6 !!!!!!!!!!! :6 )

 

[Myrmidon]

This just depresses me he can bat like this and would rather just do something stupid first ball, instead of seeing himself in, this is a very good pitch for bowling

 

[khalil1986]

LOL that helicopter shot has some serious swagger.

 

[saeedhk]

Helicopter shot by Shahzad.Wonderful.

 

[WebGuru]

Hong Kong the Pakistan E team is showing full fielding skills

 

[Electron]

I have never seen such a pathetic fielding team in my life.

 

[saeedhk]

Fielding.

Fielding.

jinxed

 

[saeedhk]

Great catch..

 

[mosh101]

That was a good catch to get rid of shehzad

 

[mosh101]

35 of 4 overs !

Could be anybody's game

 

[mosh101]

Massive sixxxx

 

[Mohsin]

LMAO this Aizaz Khan is RUBBISH

Dropped catch
Free hit 6
Another 6

 

[mosh101]

Afghanistan right in this

 

[Mohsin]

And another 6

This guy single handedly lost HK the game lool

 

[mosh101]

Pulled for another sixxx

Ye shafiq kaun hai bhaiii

 

[mosh101]

MOM Aizaz

 

[Myrmidon]

Shafiqullah is a good player, was unfairly given out vs Bangla when it hit his thigh and was given out caught behind right away by the andha umpire. Plays sensibly, technical player like most Afghan youngsters. I would like to see more of the U19 crop being played in the national team.

 

[mosh101]

Shafiqullah is a beasttt

 

[Electron]

jinxed

You missed the comment that started the master jinx

 

[mosh101]

3 sixes in that over !

 

[mosh101]

Cheeky sweep for fourr

 

[mosh101]

HK have been outplayed

 

[mosh101]

Afg need 5 runs to win, shafiq needs 3 for his fifty !

 

[Asif321]

Hong Kong knocked out , Afghanistan got out of jail

 

[Electron]

The bowler is bowling with a towel-tail.

 

[mosh101]

Shafiq finishes it with a fourr and also gets his fifty !

What a knock from this man !

 

[Mohsin]

That DJ is annoying...

 

[mosh101]

What a match ! Well played Afghanistan !

 

[Electron]

Shafiq has looked amazing.

 

[crick23]

Hong Kong out :/

 

[10sion]

Well that was fast...

 

[10sion]

Hong Kong first team to be out of the qualifiers.

 

[Mohsin]

I like Shahzad, looks like a lovable guy (and his Facebook account is full of pictures with my cricketing idol, Wasim and other Pak players lol)

 

[AFG_Brit]

Good win.. i hope we win the next match too.
