Both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka lost badly to Afghanistan. I also think that Bangladesh will be ahead of Sri Lanka in terms of batting and bowling. I want to invest money for Bangladesh in today's betting. Because Bangladesh has the top all-rounder Shakib and I like Mahmudullah's game. If they can perform a little better today, I think Bangladesh will win against Sri Lanka.

Hong Kong bowlers leaked too many runs in the depth overs, and if that was not the case then the match would have been very competitive. And their fielding was also not that great. Some easy chances were dropped and runs were given away. It was a decent performance from Hong Kong. But doesn't matter much, as they don't have any natives playing for them. Unless they manage to spread the game to the natives, in the long term the growth will be stunted. Also they can contact players such as Sam Hain, who are eligible to represent them. If these players agree to be included in the squad, then it will be a big boost for them.
Hong Kong bowlers were brilliant in the early stage of the match. The way they were controlling KL Rahul and Virat Kohli was the reason why the Indian run rate has hanging around 7 runs per over. The last over was the reason why India was able to score 192 runs. 4 sixes were hit by Surya Kumar in that over and it was the most expensive over in the match. If Hong Kong had put a check on those runs then the outcome of this game would have been different. Being a British colony for a long time I was expecting a few native Chinese players on their team. Cricket Hong Kong needs to encourage cricket matches to be played in schools and colleges apart from soccer.

I think Shakib knows his batsmen very well. Had Afghanistan batted first and given a target of 170/180, Bangladesh would have been badly beaten. This is why Shakib decided to bat first. This decision is for the Bangladesh team. If Bangladesh were able to collect like 140 they could have won this match.
I think Bangladesh and Afghanistan from Group B will qualify for the next round. Bangladesh's performance is better than Sri Lanka's team. If the batsmen of Bangladesh are able to perform a bit better in the next match, then they will easily win against Sri Lanka.
No team will be able to win the match if they play with such low mentality. Bangladeshi players start their batting by being nervous, which is the main reason for their worst batting performance in T20 matches. Recently Bangladesh has lost ODI and T20 series against Zimbabwe. Where Sri Lanka has played better against strong opponents in the last few matches. In my view, Bangladesh has very low possibility to win the match. The betting odds is also in favour of Sri Lanka.I think Bangladesh and Afghanistan from Group B will qualify for the next round. Bangladesh's performance is better than Sri Lanka's team. If the batsmen of Bangladesh are able to perform a bit better in the next match, then they will easily win against Sri Lanka.
Lack of leadership does not appear to be the cause of Bangladesh's deterioration in performance. Their main problem is that the players are not able to perform regularly. The performance of their top order especially the two openers is very weak. I don't remember the last time we saw a good performance from two Bangladeshi openers. If the openers do not start well, it is difficult to perform well in the match.
Secondly, the board of the Bangladesh team is completely corrupt. The political influence within the board is well understood. Bangladesh cricket will not improve if the corrupt board officials are not sacked.

Matches in which the winner can be determined in advance are not very enjoyable to watch as happened in today's match. Where one of the lower teams played against the most powerful team in cricket. But I certainly wouldn't underestimate Hong Kong. Because they joined cricket much later but still they did better than some other teams. Here India win both of the two matches.
Hong Kong's performance was not bad. India's bowling lineup is one of the best bowling lineups in the world. Hong Kong scored 152 runs batting against such strong and experienced bowlers. However, Hong Kong was defeated by a margin of 40 runs. But it is their batting that deserves praise. Gradually they are able to improve themselves. And if this trend continues, Hong Kong will be able to challenge any strong team within a few years. I am satisfied with the performance of the batsmen but their bowlers need to play better. There is scope for further improvement in the performance of the bowlers.

I think part of the blame for Bangladesh's current poor performance can be attributed to the captaincy, as they are not playing well right now. In my opinion, there is only one thing I would like to see on the team as the captain: Mashrafe bin Murtaza. In addition, Bangladesh's performance at the individual level was so poor that it was absolutely inexplicable, and it came as a complete shock.

India is playing well and i am sure they will be eyeing at least 200 runs today. India has almost qualified for the 2nd round.
150 is good enough against a team like Hong Kong if you ask me. Their players make it seem like it's a team from India or Pakistan or Sri Lanka or Bangladesh.India is well on target to make a big total today. Surely they will score above 180+ today.
India set a huge target of 193. Although I expected India to collect more than 200 today. Virat Kohli is back in form. He collected 59 runs off 44 balls. Suryakumar Yadav played a brilliant innings of 68 runs off just 26 balls. He hit 6 over boundaries and 6 fours. Due to his extraordinary innings, India was able to set a target of 193 runs. However, I wouldn't call 193 runs a bad collection against a team like Hong Kong. India will be able to win the match very easily. But I would be happy if they could collect more than 200. Virat Kohli is batting very slow. Since this is a T20 format, Kohli should have batted a bit more aggressively.
But I think Hong Kong played very well in today's game, at least better than Sri Lanka or Bangladesh as they managed to score 150+ runs without getting all out. If they can improve their bowling side, hopefully they will do better in the future

I can't remember Bangladesh losing in such a way. If Bangladesh could have scored 150 runs, it seems that the game with Afghanistan would have intensified. But Bengal country is playing such a bad game which is beyond words. Mahmudullah scored 25 runs off 27 balls. If everyone had run out like him then Bangladesh would not have played like this. I think this happened due to some mistakes of Bangladesh.
Afghanistan won both the matches and now the match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will decide who will go in to the Super 4 phase. And despite the loss yesterday, I still believe that Bangladesh has a better chance. Sri Lanka do have some promising young players, but they are unable to perform as a team. Bangladesh lost the match yesterday, because their bowling was an utter failure during the depth overs. Apart from that phase, they were ahead of Afghanistan during most of the duration. And it is surprising, because bowlers such as Mustafizur and Taskin are usually very good during depth overs.
India is playing well and i am sure they will be eyeing at least 200 runs today. India has almost qualified for the 2nd round.
150 is good enough against a team like Hong Kong if you ask me. Their players make it seem like it's a team from India or Pakistan or Sri Lanka or Bangladesh.If India scores only 150 against Hong kong and wins the match too, i would consider it a defeat for the Indian team. A team as big as India should win the match convincingly to boost their own confidence and give a strong message to the other teams in the tournament. For India, it's not about winning, it's about dignity to winning with a big margin.
India is well on target to make a big total today. Surely they will score above 180+ today.
Afghanistan is surely currently third-best team in Asia, and they can do improve their quality with franchise leagues as well because most of their players are involved in these franchise leagues for long time and giving their best which is good because this experience is going to be more helpful for them in future with these two wins now we can check quality of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in this format.
Afghanistan already in next group with now tomorrow we will have matches between Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka for second team which is going into top four which is going to be more interested with India, Afghanistan, Pakistan and one from these Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka and then two top teams will be in final of this event.

I actually have no hope for Bangladesh because they are not able to improve. Take a look at the Bangladesh team. In India, even a player like Virat Kohli is not sure if he will be able to play or not because he is not in good form right now and Bangladesh is still continuing to play with Mahmudullah Riyad because he is one of the senior players even after what he has been doing for the last 10 or more matches. I don’t think Bangladesh is going to win against Sri Lanka. And obviously, Afghanistan was a better team against Bangladesh.
The India vs Hong Kong match will start in around 2 hours from now. What are your predictions?
Not a big fan of Hong Kong, primarily because it is a team that has zero native players. Almost everyone is a citizen of India or Pakistan. They should have at least included a token native player, in order to generate some interest within the country. I don't think that anyone will be following this match within Hong Kong. And in terms of quality, as far as I know they are much below other associate sides such as Scotland and Namibia. This is going to be a completely one-sided match. And in case Hong Kong bats first, then the match will be over within 1-1.5 hours.

The Indian versus Hong Kong match is currently playing on and I honestly expected a better run rate from India. Virat Kohli is playing in that match and again he is playing really carefully to have a good inning. But I wonder if he has to play like that against Hong Kong, how is he going to play against bigger opponents? I hope that he is not going to get out with a 100-strike rate after playing 30+ balls. I hope he will be able to at least keep his strike rate in the 140 area and score at least 50. Right now the score is 85-1 after 12 overs.
At the same time, their batsmen batted very responsibly. Earlier Afghanistan team had very few good players except Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan. But now almost every player on the team is capable of performing well. While the performances of teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the West Indies have deteriorated, Afghanistan and Ireland have managed to strengthen themselves.
Agreed. Afghanistan is playing better than top teams like Windies, Lanka, Bangladesh etc these days primarily because of their experienced players who gained their experience from top leagues like the IPL etc.India is playing well and i am sure they will be eyeing at least 200 runs today. India has almost qualified for the 2nd round.

Hong Kong is the weakest team among all the teams in the Asian cup and hence it is obvious that India will win today's match. Although India is batting first but this won't make a difference in today's match. Winning the toss and fielding first is the one thing but you need to have a competitive team that hong kong does not possess.

By winning by 7 wickets with 9 deliveries left, Afghanistan qualified for the Super 4 of Asia Cup 2022. I really enjoy watching Team Afghanistan and the Asia Cup. In the end, Najeeb's batting was sensational. The Asia Cup is a very well deserved opportunity for Afghanistan. It is a stunning display of cricket by Afghanistan, they have a well-balanced bowling attack, excellent fielding, and a few batters that can score very high scores. It was a team effort that brought the result.
Every fan who supports Afghanistan was greatly encouraged by the last match played between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Their cricket is now starting to dream. They may also have a place in this Asia Cup. I think Afghanistan is now the strongest country after India and Pakistan. There will be more excitements as the Asia Cup begins.
