AIR India went into a deadly spin at Cox's Road yesterday - and Hongkong crashed to a humiliating 132-run defeat.
Hongkong, represented by a Cricket Association XI, were helpless against the guile of Air India's two spinners Sandeep Joshi and Piyush Soneji.
Chasing Air India's 234 all out, the territory were skittled for 111 in 38 overs, Joshi taking five wickets and Soneji claiming three.
Right-arm leg-breaker Joshi's trickery totally bamboozled the Hongkong middle order with Ross Greer, Steve Atkinson and Leigh Beaman being stumped out in almost identical fashion by wicket-keeper Nandan Phadnis.
Ravi Sujanani came close to falling to the Joshi-Phadnis partnership, but was judged to have his trailing foot on the crease after a strong appeal.
Opener Stewart Brew was Hongkong's most successful batsman, scoring 26 before being bowled by paceman Ashertosh Dube.
