Hong Kong secured an Asia Cup spot after topping the qualification round by UAE on Wednesday, August 24, in Oman. They finished above Kuwait, Singapore, and UAE to book a ticket to the multi-nation tournament.
After the win, the Hong Kong players were seen dancing on famous Bollywood song ‘Kala Chashma’. Notably, Team India also danced on the same song to celebrate their 3-0 win against Zimbabwe in the recently concluded ODI series. Repeating the same, the Hong Kong players did the same dance steps as of the Men in Blue to celebrate their victory.
The wicketkeeper batter Zeeshan Ali shared the video on Instagram, which has gone viral and the masses are loving it.
Hong Kong were part of 2018 edition of the Asia Cup and were grouped with India and Pakistan. Surprisingly, the history will repeat as they will join India and Pakistan in Group A. They will face India on August 31 and Pakistan on September 2 in the group stage.
Hong Kong captain Nizakat Khat expressed his joy in the post match presentation on qualifying for the six-team tournament and also thanked their cricket body for their support.
“I have no words to describe how I feel. I would like to thank Hong Cricket for all their support. Our process was the same, we knew we had to win all three games to qualify for Asia Cup and that is what we did. We took it game by game and the boys fought back really well. This is a big tournament to showcase our talent, and this is a great opportunity for everyone on this squad,” Nizakat had said.
