Sep 10, 2025
In the opening match of the Asia Cup cricket tournament, Afghanistan registered a massive 94-run victory over Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi last night.
Opting to bat first, Afghanistan posted 188 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to a 73-run knock by Sediqullah Atal and a 20-ball half-century by Azmatullah Omarzai. It is now the fastest T20I fifty by any Afghanistan player.
In reply, Hong Kong managed only 94 runs for 9 wickets in their 20 overs, with Babar Hayat top-scoring with 39 runs.
