IND vs HK, Asia Cup Live Updates: Virat Kohli completed his 50 off 40 balls as he and Suryakumar Yadav look to take India to a strong total against Hong Kong. Suryakumar gave India’s innings some much needed impetus after the top three batters had struggled to score runs freely. Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma failed to play a big knock as he was dismissed on 21 by Hong Kong’s Ayush Shukla. KL Rahul too struggled during his time in the middle, scoring 36 off 39 balls. He was dismissed by Mohammad Ghazanfar in the 13th over. Hong Kong bowled excellently in the first 10 overs as Indian batters struggled to find boundaries. India made one change to their playing XI from the last game as Rishabh Pant replaced Hardik Pandya, who has been rested. Hong Kong skipper Nizakat Khan won the toss and elected to field first against India in the Asia Cup Group A match on Wednesday. After beating arch-rivals Pakistan in a nail-biter, India eye an automatic spot in the Super 4. The Rohit Sharma-led side will look to keep Hong Kong away from providing any scare like the side did in the 2018 edition of the continental event. Notably, India had registered a narrow 26-run win over Hong Kong at that time as the latter had faced a batting collapse after a good start. Hong Kong will be looking to make an impression on the big stage in Dubai after they won all three of their qualifying matches to make the main draw of the six-nation tournament, which acts as a tune-up to the T20 World Cup in October-November.
