PAK vs HK Score Updates, Asia Cup 2022: Pakistan take on Hong Kong in Sharjah in a virtual knock-out match in the Asia Cup. India beat both Pakistan and Hong Kong to seal qualification for the Super-4 stage from Group A, leaving it to the two teams to fight it out for the second spot in the group.
Ravindra Jadeja was on Friday ruled out of the remainder of the Asia Cup due to a knee injury and Axar Patel will replace him in the squad. Jadeja had made a significant contribution with the bat in India's five-wicket win over Pakistan, making crucial 35 runs off 29 balls on August 28. The Saurashtra all-rounder did not get to bat against Hong Kong but returned tidy figures with the ball, conceding only 15 runs from his four overs with a wicket. "The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Axar Patel as the replacement for Ravindra Jadeja in the ongoing Asia Cup," the BCCI said in a statement. "Ravindra Jadeja has sustained a right knee injury and is ruled out of the tournament. He is currently under the supervision of the BCCI medical team. "His replacement, Axar Patel was earlier named as one of the standbys in the squad and will join the team in Dubai soon."

Dinesh Karthik and Dipika Pallikal are not just well renowned sportspersons, but also a loving, happily married couple. The two were the latest to join Twitter's one-word trend, and their posts just went on to show how adorable they are together. Their tweets? Each other's names! The trend has seen people and organisations tweet with just one word, which is largely depicting something very close to them or important for them.
Before the start of the ongoing edition of the Asia Cup, most cricket experts were expecting Afghanistan to put up strong performances - and they lived up to that billing - beating both Sri Lanka (by 8 wickets) and then Bangladesh (by 7 wickets) to become the first team to qualify for the Super Four stage. The Afghans, who are currently ranked 10th on the ICC T20I team rankings, will now be up against Sri Lanka in the first Super Four match on Saturday, September 3 after the island nation clinched a thrilling two-wicket win over Bangladesh on Thursday to knock the Bangla Tigers out of the tournament. The two rather big wins against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh (both ranked higher than Afghanistan in the T20 team rankings at 8 & 9 respectively) can't really be called upsets, considering just how much the Afghanistan T20I team has steadily improved.
Given the recent form of Hong Kong, it will not be a walk in the park for the Pakistani team. Hong Kong have recently been in a rich vein of form, winning the qualifying tournament and remaining unbeaten. They ran India close in the previous edition of the tournament, and the last thing Pakistan would want to do is write them off.
Former India batter Wasim Jaffer expressed concerns over the lack of fluency in Virat Kohli's batting in the ongoing Asia Cup. The former India skipper scored 35 off 34 balls against Pakistan, before hitting an unbeaten 59 off 44 balls against Hong Kong. Jaffer also questioned Kohli's intent in the middle overs, saying that if it wasn't for Suryakumar Yadav's quickfire knock, India would've ended up with a below-par score. Jaffer also said that India needs someone who can score runs freely in the middle order.
