Opener Shikhar Dhawan notched up his 14th One-Day International (ODI) century as India defeated minnows Hong Kong by 26 runs in the Group A clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. Chasing a challenging target of 286 runs, Hong Kong got off to a brilliant start with their openers Nizakat Khan (92) and skipper Anshuman Rath (72) scoring impressive half-centuries to put India on the back foot. The duo stitched an opening stand of 174 runs -- which also became the highest first-wicket stand recorded by the associate nation in the ODI cricket. However, after the fall of their wicket, Afghanistan's middle and lower order fell in quick succession without troubling the scoreboard much. For India, spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and debutant pacer Khaleel Ahmed scalped three wickets each. Earlier, Dhawan's century helped India post 285/7. Dhawan played a cautious knock on top of the order, scoring 127 runs from 120 deliveries. His innings was laced with 15 boundaries and two hits over the fence. Ambati Rayudu (60) also played a crucial knock to help India post a dominating total, after being asked to bat first by Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Kedar Jadhav (28 not out) remained unbeaten throughout the innings, helping India score crucial runs in the death overs. For Hong Kong, Kinchit Shah was the pick of the bowlers, scalping three wickets. (HIGHLIGHTS)

16:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live commentary from the Group A match between India and Hong Kong.
Hong Kong lost their opener against Pakistan by eight wickets in a thoroughly one-sided showdown where they could manage only 116 runs. Unless a miracle happens, there won't be a remarkable improvement in their performance against an Indian team that boasts of the likes of Rohit, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Kedar Jadhav in batting along with Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in the bowling. For the past few years, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's waning batting skills have repeatedly come under scanner and this tournament will give everyone a fair idea of his ideal position.
Whether it would need up being No.5, 6 or 7 will be the big contention going into the Pakistan game. If Dhoni comes in at No.7, he will have to face a skilful Mohammed Aamir at the death along with a skiddy Usman Khan and talented Hasan Ali. Possibly Kedar Jadhav or Manish Pandey at No.5 and Hardik Pandya with his big hitting abilities at No.7 could prove to be an ideal foil for the former India captain if he decides to come at No 6. The middle-order that has been an issue for India for quite some time now and need to be sorted going into the World Cup next year.
