Sidelights – ICC World T20 | Afghanistan Vs Hong Kong

It was a do or die match for both Afghanistan and Hong Kong and only one team could survive at the end of the day. This match was played at a new venue Chittagong and the teams were able to score the par T20 scores in the end. It was a one sided affair overall and Afghanistan prevailed in the end. Hong Kong sadly is crashed out of the tournament with the two straight defeats. Better luck next time! For Afghanistan Mohammad Shahzad was superb. He has been one their most prolific batsmen of late. He lived up to his name and made sure that Afghanistan wins despite few hiccups at the start.
