Some may have butterflies in their stomach ahead of next Asia Cup 2022 match between Pakistan and Hong Kong as the unpredictable green shirts can surprise anyone on a day but being a formidable side, they must guide themselves to an easy win.
The win at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday night against Hong Kong will take Pakistan into the Super 4 Round along with India, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
This year, Pakistan have yet to register their first win in T20Is as in previous two games, Pakistan lost to Australia at Lahore on April 05 by 3 wickets. While in their opening match of Asia Cup 2022 against India at Dubai on August 28, Pakistan suffered a defeat by 5 wickets.

However, Pakistan have an excellent record in T20 Internationals at Sharjah. Previously, they played 4 T20Is at the venue and won 3 of them.
Pakistan vs Hong Kong Record in Asia Cup
Matches Played: 3 ODIs
Pakistan won: 3
Hong Kong won: 0
Like Pakistan, Hong Kong also lost their first game of the tournament against India by 40 runs.
Therefore, whosoever loses the match tonight, will be out of the event while the winner will be through to the next round.
Prior to today’s clash, Pakistan and Hong Kong have met three times in Asia Cup in 2004, 2008, and 2018. Pakistan won all those matches, played in ODI format, convincingly.
However, unlike Pakistan, Hong Kong have already tasted multiple success in 2022. They have played 9 T20Is this year, and won 5 of them.
