In a recent press conference, Hong Kong skipper Nizakat Khan said, “Any team can beat their opponent on a given day in T20I cricket and the team showed fine form in Oman during Asia Cup qualifiers, which it won. Winning and losing is a part of the game. We want to play good cricket and it is important. It is a massive opportunity to play against India and Pakistan. We have a young squad and it is a great opportunity for us.”
