Pakistan beat Hong Kong to enter Super 4s; to face India again on Sunday

Pakistan set up a second showdown against arch-rivals India in as many weeks with a record 155-run win over Hong Kong in a must-win Asia Cup match here on Friday. Mohammad Rizwan had to work hard for his 78 off 57 balls as Pakistan got a much-needed final flourish to post 193 for two against Hong Kong. Hong Kong were simply blown away in the run-chase with Pakistani attack proving to be too good for them. Their innings folded up for just 38 in 10.4 overs, sending Pakistan into the Super 4s as the second placed team from Group A. It was Pakistan's biggest win in the shortest format. Pakistan will meet India, who topped Group A, on Sunday. Hong Kong had shown a bit of potential with the bat against India but they simply surrendered to the Pakistani attack. It was a procession after Naseem Shah struck twice in the third over of the innings. Then it was the turn of the spinners, Shadab Khan (4/8) and Mohammad Nawaz (3/5), to do the damage as they shared seven wickets. Shadab's googl

Suryakumar Yadav sizzles in India's big win, team enters Asia Cup Super 4

India were not at their best but Suryakumar Yadav was, his 26-ball 68 paving the way for the defending champions' 40-run victory over Hong Kong and entry into the Super 4 of the Asia Cup here on Wednesday. Suryakumar's scintillating knock lifted a sedate India to 192 for two, the Mumbaikar easily overshadowing Virat Kohli's fluent half-century after Hong Kong opted to bowl first. Hong Kong were off to a good start with the bat, but the 193-run target proved to be too much for them, ending at 152 for five in the stipulated 20 overs. Suryakumar orchestrated the carnage while Kohli made an unbeaten 59 from 44 balls, his first international fifty in more than six months, as India amassed 78 runs in the final five overs. Arshdeep Singh (1/44) gave the breakthrough, while Ravindra Jadeja effected a direct hit to remove skipper Nizakat Khan and then dismissed their top-scorer Bahar Hayat (41) to derail their chase. Hong Kong's scoring rate dropped considerably after the powerplay, with j

Hong Kong claims population shrunk due to virus curbs, no mention of exodus

Hong Kong's government says its population has shrunk for a second year as anti-virus controls hampered the inflow of new workers and births declined, but it made no mention of an exodus of residents following a crackdown on a pro-democracy movement. The population as of mid-2022 declined by 1.6% from a year earlier to 7,291,600, the Census & Statistics Department announced Thursday. It said there was a net outflow of 113,200 residents while only 18,300 new residents arrived. The announcement gave no indication how many thousands of people might have left due to the crackdown and a national security law that chilled free speech and left lawyers and business consultants uneasy about what they were allowed to say to clients. Hong Kong spent two years under some of the world's most stringent travel controls, mimicking mainland China. It is believed the pandemic and related quarantine requirements would have impacted talent inflow, the statement said. The problem could be resolved ...

Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific losses narrow as COVID restrictions ease

- Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific Airways said on Wednesday that losses in the first half of the year narrowed as a relaxation in quarantine rules boosted passenger numbers. But it cautioned that quarantine restrictions on its crew were limiting the airline's ability to increase flight capacity. The company reported losses of about USD 5 billion Hong Kong dollars (USD 637 million) in the first six months, down from 7.57 billion Hong Kong dollars (USD 964.5 million) in the same period last year. Hong Kong relaxed strict quarantine rules from 14 to seven days in mandatory hotel quarantine earlier this year, and to just three days from Friday. It still remains one of the few places in the world, together with mainland China, to require mandatory quarantine for inbound travellers. Such measures have limited recovery for Cathay and the city's tourism industry, as travellers opt for other destinations that have opened up completely. Cathay's first-half revenue grew 17 per cent to 18.6
