The batting conditions in the second innings can be tough because of the uneven bounce. Batting first can be good option here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AFG vs HKG: Possible XIs<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Afghanistan<\/strong>: Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sediqullah Atal, Azmatullah Omarzai, Darwish Rasooli, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan (c), Mohammad Nabi, AM Ghazanfar, Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Hong Kong<\/strong>: Babar Hayat, Anshuman Rath (wk), Nizakat Khan, Yasim Murtaza (c), Zeeshan Ali, Kinchit Shah, Kalhan Challu, Ehsan Khan, Ateeq Iqbal, Ayush Shukla, Nasrulla Rana<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AFG vs HKG: Player to Watch Out For<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable Best Batter: Ibrahim Zadran (Afghanistan)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After looking at the current form, Ibrahim Zadran will be key for Afghanistan. He showed good form in the tri-series and will be the one to watch out for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable Best Bowler: Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rashid Khan in these conditions will be very tough to handle. Especially the Hong Kong batters, who are not used to playing against such quality spinners.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Today&#39;s<\/strong> <strong>Match<\/strong> <strong>Prediction<\/strong>: Hong Kong still have a long way to go at the international level.
