Hong Kong denied thrilling finish in Scotland ODI as bad light halts play with two overs remaining
Tourists’ opening one day international clash sees them fall tantalisingly short of a winning start as darkness causes the match to be abandoned
Hong Kong’s opening one day international clash in Scotland saw them fall tantalisingly short of a winning start when darkness caused the match to be abandoned just 12 balls from the end.
The tourists had played themselves into a strong position and required just 18 runs from the final two overs to seal an impressive win in Edinburgh but after a rain-affected match was shortened to 20 overs each it ended in a disappointing anti-climax.

Now the series rests on the outcome of the match when the sides face-off at the same venue tomorrow.
Hong Kong were set a modest target of 154 to win after a nervous showing from the hosts and they were bearing down on that total with Tanwir Afzal and Ehsan Khan at the crease.
