Full commentary
Hong Kong simply didn't have enough runs on the board, Afghanistan bowled well and gave up just four boundaries. And once Shahzad came in and set about the Hong Kong bowling, well there was only going to be one result. A difficult day for the groundstaff who coped admirably, it is brightening up and hopefully we'll have a full game in the second Asian Games semi-final starting in an hour's time.
mamun (UAE): "I want to see bangladesh vs Afghanistan final match " Well Bangladesh have to get through Sri Lanka first. Thanks for being with us up to now, join us again in Incheon in a bit.

The rain has returned unfortunately. No sooner are the covers brought on by the valiant ground-staff, then they're taken off. Has been a tough day for them. This time Hong Kong have stayed out there, as right now they're behind on D/L and want to get more play in to take back the initiative.
