Hong Kong Team News & Playing 11
HK Team News
Hong Kong made a couple of changes to their side in the previous match against United Arab Emirates - they brought Ahsan Abbasi and Raag Kapur in place of Shahid Wasif and Nasrulla Rana. Abbasi opened the batting with Nizakat Khan last time out and he could open again. Kyle Christie and skipper Aizaz Khan are likely to lead the team's bowling attack. Hong Kong, despite coming off a defeat, might keep an unchanged eleven for this match.
HK Key Players
Kinchit Shah: He is one of the key men with the bat for Hong Kong at the top of the order. The left-handed batsman is among the tournament's leading run-getters with 121 runs at an average of 40.33. Kinchit smacked 79 off 54 balls in the first match against Ireland.
Nizakat Khan: After scoring just one run against Ireland, Nizakat Khan has scored 62 runs in his next two outings - against Oman and United Arab Emirates. The onus will be on this opening batsman to provide a brisk start to Hong Kong's innings.
Kyle Christie: The fast bowler will be expected to inflict some damage on Jersey's batting line-up early in the powerplay. Christie conceded just eight runs off his three overs versus Oman and returned figures of 3-0-24-2 last time out versus United Arab Emirates.
HK Recent Form
Hong Kong are having a hard time in the 20-over format and have lost all their seven T20Is they have played so far this year. They are yet to register a win in this T20 World Cup Qualifier and are lying second from the bottom on the Group B points table with three big losses from their first three matches - against Ireland, Oman and United Arab Emirates.
Hong Kong Predicted Playing 11
Nizakat Khan, Ahsan Abbasi, Kinchit Shah, Aizaz Khan (c), Waqas Barkat, Simandeep Singh, Haroon Arshad, Scott McKechnie (wk), Ehsan Khan, Raag Kapur, Kyle Christie
Jersey Team News & Playing 11
JER Team News
Jersey replaced left-arm spinner Elliot Miles with pace bowling allrounder Julius Sumerauer in Sunday's 53-run loss to Canada. Sumerauer bagged a couple of wickets in that game and so he could be given another opportunity here. Nick Ferraby and Harrison Carlyon will continue to open the batting while fast bowler Anthony Hawkins-Kay will probably start off the proceedings with the new ball.
JER Key Players
Jonty Jenner: He has been the most consistent performer with the bat for Jersey so far in this tournament. The top-order batsman struck half-centuries in the first two games - an unbeaten 57 against Nigeria followed by a 32-ball 56 against Canada.
Anthony Hawkins-Kay: He is one of the main threats in Jersey's bowling attack and it will be up to him to provide the early breakthroughs. Additionally, the allrounder has the potential to hit some crucial runs with the bat down the order.
Charles Perchard: He has been the most impressive bowler for the side in this tournament. The skipper took a couple of wickets while conceding only 21 runs from his four overs in the game against Canada, and Jersey will want their skipper to lead from the front again.
JER Recent Form
Jersey have not been too consistent in the shortest format of the game with seven wins, five losses and a tie from the thirteen matches they have played this year. After the tie against Guernsey earlier in May, they won six matches on the trot but have now lost five of their last six matches. Jersey began their campaign at the ongoing T20 World Cup Qualifier with a 69-run win against Nigeria before going down to Canada in their next match.
Jersey Predicted Playing 11
Nick Ferraby, Harrison Carlyon, Ben Stevens, Jonty Jenner, Nick Greenwood, Benjamin Ward, Dominic Blampied, Anthony Hawkins-Kay, Julius Sumerauer, Jake Dunford (wk), Charles Perchard (c)
Hong Kong vs Jersey Head to Head
Hong Kong and Jersey have never played a T20 international against each other in the past. The two teams will be going head-to-head for the very first time in the history of the game's twenty-over format.
Hong Kong vs Jersey Betting Odds
Hong Kong, despite losing their first three matches in the tournament, begin as the bookmakers' favorites for this match at 1.57 with Bet365 and 1.58 with 10CRIC. Bet365 is offering a higher price on Jersey - 2.37.
🏆 Hong Kong vs Jersey Prediction
Hong Kong and Jersey are both struggling in this ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier. But the former have struggled more and are under a lot of pressure after having suffered defeats in their first three matches. The Aizaz Khan-led side have now lost their last seven matches in the twenty-over format. They have played nine T20Is at this ground and have faced defeats in seven of those while Jersey recently thrashed Nigeria here by 69 runs last Saturday. Although Hong Kong have more international experience under their belt, we feel the scales are tipped a little more in favor of Jersey.
