World T20: Zimbabwe vs Hong Kong
That's all we have from this game. The second match between Afghanistan and Scotland will begin shortly. Join us for the same.
The winning captain, HAMILTON MASAKADZA says that they managed really well even after they wobbled in the middle overs. Feels that it was a good total and Chigumbura back in the end played very well. Continues that the way they started they could have reached 160 or 170. Further states Sibanda played really well and they needed someone who could bat deeper and hold the innings.
The losing skipper, TANWIR AFZAL says that they could restrict them under 140 runs and could chase this total. Continues they have the ability in their batting and gives credit to the way Zimbabwe bowled. Ends by saying that they have managed to keep them under 150 which is a good sign.
MAN OF THE MATCH, VUSI SIBANDA says that it was not easy out there but was a decent score to be honest. Continues that the wicket was slow and they had to just drag the game all the way. Further states that they have big hitters and credits Chigumbura for finishing it well. Ends by saying that the wickets in India are different to what they have back home.
Zimbabwe never made it look easy for Hong Kong as they took wickets at regular intervals. The Hong Kong skipper came in the end and played some huge shots but couldn't manage a win. Chatara and Tiripano was the pick of their bowlers as they both took two wickets each and were economical as well. Hamilton Masakadza will be a happy man today as they have announced their arrival.
Zimbabwe seal their first win! The first match of group stage is over and the results are out. Atkinson played a gem of an innings for Hong Kong today. He stood there in the middle and kept the momentum going. His knock of 53 kept the game alive. Mark Chapman gave him some necessary support and took the innings forward.
FOUR! That will lessen the defeat margin. Fuller on leg side, Tanwir gets an inside edge and the ball runs down to fine leg region for a boundary. ZIMBABWE WIN BY 14 RUNS.
Fuller ball outside off, hit wildly to off side for a brace.
Fuller onto the pads, good bowling there.
The batsman goes for the pull but misses it completely.
