Kuwait vs Hong Kong Betting Tips
Hong Kong to score over 20.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@PARIMATCH)
Hong Kong is a stronger team on paper in comparison to Kuwait in the 20 over format. The opening order revolves around MArtin Coetzee, Anshuman Rath and Nizakat Khan. The openers have a good track record batting against Kuwait. The sides clashed twice last year where Hong Kong scored 34 & 101 runs before their 1st dismissal in those two outings. Coetzee, Rath and Khan average at 24.70, 26.15 & 20.22 respectively in the format. Despite that, the Kuwait’s weak bowling order will enable the openers to score well for their opening partnership.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Kuwait vs Hong Kong Toss Prediction
Selangor Turf Club, Kuala Lumpur, is a small venue, and the pitch here is a good one to bat on. The shorter boundaries here make hitting easy. Fast bowlers have done well on this surface, and spinners tend to do well as the game progresses. It is the first game on this wicket after a long gap, and we expect the pitch to have something for the bowlers. It will improve in the second innings, where batters can easily hit through the line. We expect the side to opt to bowl first after winning the toss in the next game.
Weather Report
The skies over Kuala Lumpur will be overcast, and rain may disrupt the game.

Kuwait vs Hong Kong Betting Odds
Mohammad Aslam's side hasn't been in the best of form. They failed to reach the knockout stage of the ACC Premier Cup and struggled with their consistency. The side has a poor record against Hong Kong and has generally struggled in overseas competitions. Aslam would expect a strong show from his key players as they take on a stronger opponent. Clinto Anto, Ravija Sandaruwan and Meet Bhavsar will look to bat well from the top order. Yasin Patel and Ilyas Ahmed will be useful with the new ball.
Nizakat Khan's team will be confident heading into this game. They have a good record against Kuwait and have never lost a game against them. The side has an experienced batting lineup. Anshuman Rath has scored a lot of runs this season and is looking to put up a big partnership with Yasim Murtaza. Nizakat Khan will look to assist and add runs with Babar Hayat and Aizaz Khan in the middle order. Ayush Shukla and Ateeq Iqbal have done well with the new ball.
