152/5 (20.0)India beat Hong Kong by 40 runs
Rahul, Rohit, Virat hope to get in the groove against Hong Kong
India defeated Hong Kong by 40 runs. Poor outings for Indian young pacers Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh. Both of them looked scratchy. At the end of the day, it was Suryakumar Yadav's knock that changed the course of the match. Virat Kohli must be feeling good as well after scoring his half-century. KL Rahul is another Indian cricketer who looked scratchy.
This is poor bowling from Avesh Khan. He has lost his rhythm. He has conceded 21 runs in his last over. Hong Kong need 53 runs in 6 balls. IND: (192/2) vs HK (140/5 in 19 overs)
Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes! Ravi Bishnoi grabs a good catch. Kinchit Shah departs for 30. Hong Kong need 77 runs in 17 balls. IND: (192/2) vs HK (116/5 in 17.1 overs)
Virat Kohli into the action. He is bowling after a gap of six years. Six came from Kohli's first over. Hong Kong need 78 runs in 18 balls. IND: (192/2) vs HK (115/4 in 17 overs)
Avesh Khan gets a wicket. Aizaz Khan goes for 14. Slower ball at the stumps, Aizaz Khan moves leg-side for a heave and is early into his shot. The ball eludes the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Hong Kong need 87 runs in 30 balls. IND: (192/2) vs HK (106/4 in 15 overs)
Trust Ravindra Jadeja to turn an adverse situation his team’s way, be it with bat, ball or in the field. After playing a crucial role with the bat in the win over Pakistan, the all-rounder gave another example of his exemplary qualities in the other two departments of the game. He affected a run-out on a free hit from Arshdeep Singh – when no other mode of dismissal was possible. He nailed a direct hit from point to find Nizakat Khan short when he had taken a couple of steps down the pitch before aborting the run. Hong Kong had made a decent start to the chase and even though it would be an exaggeration to say the Indians would have been worried at that stage, the underdogs were well in the game when Jadeja intervened. He then chipped in with four typically thrifty overs, returning figures of 1-15 to ensure the outcome. All in a day’s work for one of the premier all-format all-rounders in contemporary cricket.

Good comeback from Arshdeep Singh after conceding a boundary off the first ball. Seven runs come from his third over. Hong Kong need 95 runs in 36 balls. IND: (192/2) vs HK (98/3 in 14 overs)
