Hong Kong vs Qatar Betting Tips
Hong Kong to score higher than Qatar before 1st dismissal ( 1.79 @PARIMATCH)
Hong Kong and Qatar recently collided in a three match T20I series. Hong Kong had a good grip in their opening partnership and posted the scores of 67, 117 & 11 runs before their first dismissal. In response, Qatar posted the scores of 25, 4 & 2 runs before their 1st dismissal. On all three occasions, Hong Kong managed to score higher before their first dismissal in those games. Martin Coetzee and Nizakat Khan opened for Hong Kong in those games and played incredible innings in the T20Is. Coetzee and Khan average at 29.06 & 18.79 in their respective T20I careers. Although they look low, it will compensate for somewhat of a weak bowling order of Qatar. That said, Hong Kong will look to score higher before their first dismissal in their first clash of the tournament.
