AFG Vs HK, ICC World T20 2016 - Betting Tips and Prediction

Zimbabwe's total of 158 proved a little too much for the relatively inexperienced Hong Kong in the tournament's opening game on Tuesday. Jamie Atkinson's valiant effort went in vain as wickets kept falling around him. The opener made a career-best 53 and held the innings together. He looks to be in good form and can be considered for placing a bet. Skipper Tanwir Afzal tried to take his team over the line with a well-stitched 31 off 17 balls, but none of the other batsmen could push their score past 20 which resulted in a 14-run loss. Among the bowlers, it was skipper Afzal again who picked up 2 important wickets. His all-round performance has put high betting odds in his favor for the next game.

Final Prediction

Having lost their first match to Zimbabwe, Hong Kong will take the field on Thursday desperate for a win. They have nothing to lose and given the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket, it won't be fair to write them off just yet. But beating the big-event regulars will be quite a daunting task for a team that hasn't played enough international cricket. Furthermore, Afghanistan who are currently the highest ranked team in their group know the sub-continent conditions better than Hong Kong do. With all these factors taken into account, Afghanistan will be the favorites to win the match on Thursday.
