The Indian cricket team recorded a unconvincing win by 40 runs in their 2nd match of the Asia Cup 2022 campaign. The Men in Blue beat the Hong Kong team to top the group table.
It was Hong Kong skipper Nizakat Khan who won the toss and opted to bowl. Hong Kong bowlers managed really well to keep the Indian batters silent throughout for the almost 13 overs. Team India could only score 96 runs in the 13 overs.
But, then came on the pitch the savior of the Indian cricket team, Suryakumar Yadav. The Mumbai born cricketer took all the responsibilities to his shoulders and played a brilliant quickfire inning of 68 runs from 26 balls. He added a big partnership of 98 runs with Virat Kohli.
While chasing the target, Hong Kong lost the match 40 runs but showed a resilience to fight against a top-class bowling line-up who dismissed all 10 of Pakistan batters in the previous match as Hong Kong scored 152 runs for the loss of only 5 wickets in their restricted 20 overs.
Suryakumar Yadav has been named the Man of the Match for his performance. He was just such good with the bat tonight that even the former Indian cricket team captain and great batter Virat Kohli had to bow infront of him to salute him for his inning. Check the video below.
