The 13th match of the ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2023 will see Hong Kong (HK) take on Bahrain (BAH). The Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur will host this exciting Group B fixture on Monday, April 24.

Hong Kong have started their campaign on a high, with comprehensive wins in both their matches. They won their previous game against the United Arab Emirates by 67 runs (DLS method). After being asked to bat, Anshuman Rath's brilliant 106-run knock helped Hong Kong reach a competitive total of 263/8.

The United Arab Emirates, on the other hand, never looked comfortable and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Ehsan Khan chipped in with a couple of wickets to help Hong Kong secure a second consecutive win.

Bahrain suffered their first defeat of the season against Kuwait on April 22. After being put into bat, the majority of Bahrain's batters got starts but failed to convert them into big knocks as they posted a below-average total of 255/7 on the board.

In reply, Yasin Patel (63) played a patient knock for Kuwait and helped his team get over the line with just two wickets to spare. Abdul Majid Abbasi bowled well for Bahrain as he picked up three crucial wickets, but still ended up on the losing side.
