The Kowloon Lions will be up against the Hong Kong Islanders in the second ODD of the Hong Kong Epic Group All Stars ODI Series 2021 on 16th December at the Mission Road Ground, Mong Kok.
The Kowloon Lions didn’t have an ideal start to the series as they suffered a seven-wicket defeat in the first game. They were brilliant with the bat and put up a total of 299, courtesy of centuries from Waqas Khan (122) and Aizaz Khan (104), but failed to back it up with the ball.
The Hong Kong Islanders, on the other hand, performed admirably in the first match to chase down a total of 300 in just 44 overs. Martin Coetzee (157*) and skipper Babar Hayat (81) were the star performers as they managed a comfortable victory. They will now aim to replicate the same performance and secure the series with another win.
