confident appeal for leg before, and given! But Ghazanfar reviews. Looked like there was bat first on real time, but we'll see. Nope, it is certainly pad first, as it flips the flap of the back pad off a good length on off, with the ball skidding on off the surface. There wasn't much of a turn there, as he got his front leg out of the way to try and tried to poke at it but missed. Replays show there is umpire's call on impact, and also umpire's call on clipping the off stump. Hong Kong cleaned up for 38, which is 31 fewer than their previous lowest score in T20Is

That ends a crushing day for Pakistan, who at one stage seemed to be falling short on a slow, low pitch. Monga's report is up for a read already, as we sign off from the group stages of the tournament. See you soon. Take care!
Mohammad Rizwan is the Player of the Match: "Most important for us to adjust to the conditions even if it is T20 cricket. The ball was keeping low. We tried hitting, but it wasn't coming off. Then we charged down, keeping in mind the ball was staying low. I believe in hard work... Being a senior player, you have to take responsibility. You have to play according to the team, and there will be pressure. I request everyone to help the people of Pakistan, who are in trouble [due to the floods]"
Babar Azam, the winning captain: "Very nice victory for us. The wicket was keeping low, but they way we batted and finished was outstanding. We want the top-orders batters to stay till the end, and the lower ones to bat around them. The way Naseem and Dahani have debuted, they have shown brilliant performances."
Nizakat Khan, Hong Kong's captain: "Lots of learnings from these two games. Credit to Pakistan for the way they played. Shot making, I must admit, was poor. We'll take back the professionalism of the two teams."
Hang around for the presentations, and have a guess of the Player of the Match. Fakhar? Shadab? Or someone else?
Shaamikh: "@Momin - even worse to be a Pakistan Man Utd fan, while also being a Ferrari fan seeing Max win again."
This win by 155 runs is also Pakistan's highest in the format in terms of runs.
Nawaz: "We had simple plans: just bowl wicket to wicket as per the pitch. We wanted to bowl on a good length since the ball was keeping low. We wanted to score 170-plus initially. After the good start from the fast bowlers, we just needed to keep it simple."
Momin: "Pak vs India and Manu Utd vs Arsenal Super double Sunday !! Stress to be a Pak Arsenal Fan !!!"
Roby Stephen: "Pakistan bowlers peaking "
8.44pm India vs Pakistan on Sunday is confirmed. Pakistan thrash Hong Kong by 155 runs amidst expectations of the latter scripting a miracle in what was a knockout match. Nobody except extras got into double figures, as the scorecard resembled a phone number. Shadab bags 4 for 8, Nawaz gets 3 for 5, and Naseem has 2 for 7.

Shadab to Shukla, OUT
gone, bowled him! Another clueless slog from a Hong Kong batter, and Shadab is on a hat-trick. This was tossed up, and was a wrong 'un. It spent a good few second wobbling in, and pitched full outside off, before turning in to strike off stump as Shukla missed his slog

Shadab will continue
Not much left for Pakistan - and me - to do. Hong Kong's lowest T20I all out total is 69, and today Pakistan look set to bowl them out for a lower score.

oh it could be pad first and pretty straight if it is. No review, though. He has pushed this to cover, but there might have been some pad before he hit it

Nawaz to Zeeshan Ali, OUT
this is a procession. At least he is not out middle stump to a goggly. Steps out of the crease looking to hit a six, but is not quite to the pitch of it, and the turn away means he doesn't get enough into the shot. Caught at long-on

Shadab to Haroon Arshad, OUT
they are not reading Shadab. Haroon looks to go down for a sweep, sees the length is not quite there, then tries to just guide it behind square on the leg side, and gets too far inside the line. The wrong'un does the rest

Nawaz to McKechnie, OUT
bowled between the legs, I think. Yeah he is. Premeditates a sweep and this is really full. If he stretches forward a little, he can even take it on the full, but he has committed to the sweep. The ball squeezes between his legs to knock the stumps over
