Reports (supplied by Team Manager - Glyn Davies)
Hong Kong v. Malaysia 'B': Hong Kong batted positively but got out due to bad running or silly shots. Lack of commitment from senior players to build strong partnerships after 3 wickets down. Michael Wong batted very well for his 43 off 30 overs in very hot conditions on a slow, low pitch. Fielding and bowling was good and bad in parts. Plenty to learn from this first game and team will have to pick up its performance level against Singapore and Malaysia 'A'.
Hong Kong v. Singapore: Much improved all round performance from the Hong Kong team. Batted very positively with Anthony Booth playing an innings of character ending not out on 80. The openers got the innings off to a solid start and then progressed from there. A good partnership of 48 between young Damon Holmes (aged 15) and Booth meant a good total was within reach. Hong Kong's bowling was very tight for the first 20 overs with only 38 runs coming from it with 2 wickets falling. Singapore then started hitting but left the chase too late and came up 8 runs short. A close game but the team showed much more discipline and character. With the match between Singapore and Malaysia abandoned due to rain, the win means Hong Kong will qualify for the final on Sunday. Will play Malaysia tomorrow. Good performance from the team.
Hong Kong v. Malaysia 'A': A disapointing performance with the bat after the good result against Singapore. Booth batted well again but he was the only one. Rain affected and the result was never really in doubt but we feel that if the lads perform up to potential they will have a good chance of upsetting the Malayasians in the final.
Final - Hong Kong v. Malaysia: Match reduced to 30 overs due to heave overnight rain. Hong Kong won the toss but some very ill disciplined batting led to the above, after which the result was never going to be an issue.
