Pakistan on Friday demolished Hong Kong to seal their berth in the Super-4 stage of the Asia Cup. After posting a daunting total of 193/2, Pakistan bowled Hong Kong out for just 38 to register a mammoth 155-run victory, as the team joined India, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in the next stage of the competition. It was a must-win match for the Babar Azam-led side as they had gone down to India in their opening encounter last Sunday. Now, India and Pakistan are set to face off again in the Super-4 stage on Sunday, in what promises to be another mouthwatering clash.
England were dealt a huge blow to their chances in the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup on Friday as Jonny Bairstow suffered an injury due to a "freak accident" while playing golf. "England and Yorkshire batter Jonathan Bairstow has been ruled out of the rest of the summer and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup," the English cricket board revealed in its statement. The injury means Bairstow is ruled out for the foreseeable future. Bairstow himself took to Instagram to state that he won't be available for selection in "the immediate future". "Unfortunately I am going to be unavailable of all games/tours in the immediate future. The reason being is that I have injured by lower leg in a freak accident and it shall need an operation," Bairstow wrote.

Mohammad Rizwan hit an unbeaten 78, laying the foundation of Pakistan's 155-run win over Hong Kong on Friday, which saw them qualify for the Super 4 stage of the ongoing Asia Cup.

A lot of damage has been caused to the livelihoods of the people in Pakistan, and the number of dead has crossed the 1,200-mark. Rizwan urged everyone to unite and pray for Pakistan in these tough times.
Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will be squaring off against each other in the first match of the Super 4s stage of the ongoing Asia Cup at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday. When these two teams had met earlier in the Group B clash, it was Afghanistan that emerged on the right side of the result by eight wickets. Mohammad Nabi-led Afghanistan completely dominated the contest, and Sri Lanka had no answers. However, the Super 4s stage match might be different as Sri Lanka have confidence behind them, having gotten the better of Bangladesh in a thrilling encounter.
