India finished its Asia Cup Group ‘A’ campaign with an easy 40-run win over Hong Kong at Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Wednesday. With two wins in as many matches, India qualified for the Super Four.
India set Hong Kong a massive target of 193 which proved to be too high a mountain to climb for the minnows. Hong Kong managed to bat out the full 20 overs, but failed to mount a serious challenge.
With the game in the bag, the crowd got a buzz when part-timer Virat Kohli came on to bowl in the 17th over. Speedsters Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh had horror outings, conceding 53 and 44 runs respectively in their four overs.
