| Man of the Match is Anil Mandal of Nepal for his excellent knock in the morning. Roy Lamsam, Hong Kong's captain felt his batsmen let him down, "There was too much inexerience. On this track we should have scored a lot more. We bowled and fielded well but we really need to play better" Paras Khadlka, Nepal''s captain was naturally happier but also felt his team could have scored more. "We just need to keep on winning. In other competitions we've just lost one game and found ourselves out. We just need to win all of them this time." |
||

| It should be a great second half of the match. Join us again after the break at 1.15 Kuwait time (1015hrs GMT) | ||

Moner Dar put the brake on in the middle of the innings. Hong Kong just lacked a cutting-edge all day though and Nepal's spinners and pace-bowlers just may have a bit more zip to their bowling.
Hong Kong are packed with batsmen however. |
