Hong Kong vs Nepal Betting Tips

Hong Kong to score under 17.5 runs 1st dismissal ( 1.85 @PARIMATCH)

Hong Kong has a pretty solid batting order overall. However, their opening order has suffered many difficulties in the recent games. Coming into this competition, they faced difficulties in their batting department. The team established opening partnerships of 4, 7, 12, 10 & 19 runs in their five games so far. They managed to score over our target once, that too by a small margin. Martin Coetzee and Anshy Rath open for the team average at 7.25 & 19.00 respectively in the competition. The openers have lost their wickets very cheaply in the competition and will be expected to crumble under the pressure of Nepal’s bowling attack. In their last game against Nepal, they scored 12 runs before their first dismissal. That said, you should pick the odds for Hong Kong to score under 18 runs in the next game before their 1st dismissal.
