PNG vs HK, Stadium Name Pitch Report & Weather Conditions
The Athletic Club is once again not a batters paradise but a stage for even competition between bat and ball. The previous encounter here saw a PNG successfully chase down a target of 160 without much fuss. It is a good wicket that has its demons but if played smartly, batters can cash in the later halve of the innings.
The average temperature is expected to hover around 22°C with partially cloudy skies but perfect forecast for a game of cricket with no rain interruptions.

PNG vs HK: Dream 11 Top Picks
Assad Vala: A captain’s knock of 93* that saw his team through the chase is something that Assad will take great pride in. Leading by example, he showed exactly how to pace an innings on the tricky wicket at The Club. In a do or die match, the dressing room will be looking at the leader for inspiration and Assad will be buoyed by his form and look to repeat the same in tomorrow’s game.
Aizaz Khan: The right arm bowler will be crucial to his teams success in the game tomorrow as he has been wicket-taking form. Hong Kong will need to take wickets right at the start to capitalize and put the opposition under pressure and Khan will need to do just that in order for his team to win.
