Hong Kong won the toss and elected to field first.

Ehsan Khan got his team the early breakthrough with the big wicket of Babar Azam in his first over.

Mohammad Rizwan made an unbeaten 78 to anchor Pakistan's innings.

Rizwan steadied the ship alongside Fakhar Zaman as the duo put on a 116-run stand for the second wicket.

Zaman bega the acceleration in the 15th over, picking up a couple of sixes en route his 38-ball half-century.

Ehsan Khan ended Zaman's fireworks early and broke the century stand.

Khushdil Shah hit five sixes in his cameo of 35* off 15 - four of which came in the last over alone, and propelled Pakistan to 193/2.

Naseem Shah's twin strikes in the third over triggered a collapse Hong Kong could never recover from.

Shadab Khan tricked Hong Kong with his googlies, and was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4 for 8.

Pakistan marched to an easy 155-run victory - their highest in T20I history.
