Hong Kong vs Singapore Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
Hong Kong and Singapore will begin their campaign in the tournament on April 18 in Kathmandu. Along with them, Bahrain, UAE and Kuwait are slated in Group B as well.
Hong Kong were recently involved in a One-Day Series at home involving Malaysia and Kuwait while Hong Kong A team also played a game in the third-place playoff. Hong Kong, the hosts, ended up winning the tournament. The team boasts of players like Anshuman Rath, Eshan Khan, and Babar Hayat who were among the top players in the competition. They will also be looking to start this tournament on a high.
As for Singapore, they last played the One-Day format back in December in the CWC Challenge League Group A. They ended the tournament in fourth place with seven wins and eight losses in 15 matches. But they lost their last five matches of the competition and will be looking to arrest the losing streak in the format. The team banks on a few players like Vinoth Bhaskaran and Surendran Chandramohan to deliver almost every time. Moreover, Tim David leaving the Singapore side midway to play for Australia through CWC Challenge League A also affected the team’s performance. The other players will also have to step up in order to challenge Hong Kong in their opening game of the ACC Men’s Premier Cup.

Singapore Team Form
Singapore last played the One-Day format back in December and are on a losing streak as well. They have lost their last five matches and are not in great shape at the moment. There have been frequent changes in the team as well and they don’t look settled.
Hong Kong vs Singapore Head to Head
Hong Kong and Singapore are facing each other in the One-Day format for the first time in their cricketing history. So the teams will be looking to take an early lead in the face-off between them.
Hong Kong vs Singapore Betting Odds
Hong Kong to have the highest opening partnership
Nizakhat Khan and Babar Hayat open the innings for Hong Kong in the One-Day format. The duo were among the top scorers in the HK One-Day series played at home last month. The two players are experienced enough to manoeuvre the opposition bowling comfortably. Hence, we are backing Hong Kong to have the highest opening partnership in this game.
Hong Kong vs Singapore Top Team Batsmen
Anshuman Rath to be Hong Kong’s best batter
Anshuman Rath is coming into this tournament on the back of some sensational batting in the One-Day series that took place at home last month. Rath played three matches in the tournament and amassed a mammoth 258 runs at an average of 86 with one century and two fifties to his name. Expect Anshuman Rath to continue his rich vein of form and help Hong Kong secure crucial points from this match.
Surendran Chandramohan to be Singapore’s best batter
With constant changes in the line-up, there hasn’t been a fixed batting order for Singapore for quite some time now. But that hasn’t stopped Surendran Chandramohan from giving his best in the format. In the CWC Challenge League A that was played from 2019 to 2022, he played 10 matches and scored 303 runs at an average of 30 with three fifties to his name. Singapore will be hoping for him to step up against a strong-looking Hong Kong side.
Hong Kong vs Singapore Top Team Bowlers
Ehsan Khan to be Hong Kong’s best bowler
Ehsan Khan is a veteran playing for Hong Kong for a long time now. His spin bowling will certainly be useful in the middle overs. In the One-Day series played at home last month, he accounted for 7 wickets in three matches at an impeccable average of 12.71. His economy of 3.44 in the tournament was one of the best as well. Hong Kong will be looking up to him in case they don’t get early wickets with the new ball.
Vinoth Bhaskaran to be Singapore’s best bowler
Vinoth Bhaskaran, the left-arm spinner, is one of the most experienced bowlers of the Singapore side. In the CWC Challenge League A, he featured in 14 matches for the side and ended up scalping 20 wickets at an average of 22.15. His economy of 3.61 was once again a superb one making it tough for the opposition batters to churn out runs.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Hong Kong
Hong Kong team has confidence going into the edition, having won the One-Day tri-series at home last month. On the other hand, Singapore have been poor and don’t have recent form in their favour, having lost their last 15 games. Moreover, they are also playing their first 50-over game in four months. Given the fact that Hong Kong boast of some established players as compared to the Singapore team, our prediction is in favour of Hong Kong in this fixture.
- Hong Kong to win @ 1.28 (Parimatch)
- Singapore to win @ 3.44 (Parimatch)
