Welcome to the highlights of Pakistan vs Hong Kong - The first quarter-final match has been abandoned without a ball bowled of the 2026 Asian Games Men's Cricket Competition Twenty20 International cricket tournament between Pakistan and Hong Kong at Korogi Sports Park, Nisshin on September 28th, 2026.
Match Overview:
Pakistan through to semi-finals after rain washout against Hong Kong in the first quarter-final of a Asian Games Men's Cricket Competition.
Match Report:
The first quarter-final of the men's Asian Games 2026 between Pakistan and Hong Kong was abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled. Pakistan, as per the playing conditions for the tournament, were through to the semi-finals on the basis of being ranked higher than Hong Kong in the ICC rankings and will play the winners of the fourth quarter-final, between Bangladesh and Malaysia, on Thursday.
Play was called off at the time of the toss because of incessant showers in Nisshin throughout the day. The broadcast showed a large part of the ground under covers as the heavy rain continued to pour at the venue.
While Pakistan were one of the four seeded teams - the others being India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh - to directly qualify for the quarter-finals, Hong Kong had made it to the quarter-finals by finishing second in the three-team Group B after beating Malaysia by eight wickets and losing to Oman by 41 runs.
This would have been the third T20I between these two sides. Pakistan had beaten Hong Kong at the 2022 Asia Cup and 2023 Asian Games.
