Poynton and Cheng have been bowling superbly all week and they booked their semi-final berth after winning both their matches in style.

Kowloon Cricket Club's Mike Dowie and Jacky Wong also reached the semi-finals on a proud day for Hong Kong and they, too, are on course for a gold medal.

Poynton and Cheng first defeated Craigengower Cricket Club's Fung Kee-tong and Willie Lai 25-18 to qualify for the knockout phases.

But it was their 21-12 victory against Scotland's Alastair White and Alex Marshall that stood out.
