Ground Stat:

Average Second Innings Total at YSD-UKM Cricket Oval, Bangi (Men's ODI's) - 139

Current Form Hong Kong:

Hong Kong lost to UAE in the 2nd Semi Final Match and they will now play against Oman in the 3rd Place Playoff.

The top run scorer for Hong Kong in the ACC Mens Premier Cup 2026 is Babar Hayat with 223 runs to his name.

The top wicket taker for Hong Kong in the ACC Mens Premier Cup 2026 is Yasim Murtaza with 10 scalps under his belt.

In the 2nd Semi Final Match, Hong Kong batted first and they could only post a small total of 70 before they were bowled out. Zeeshan Ali and Kalhan Challu gave a cautious but slow start to Hong Kong. Once the first wicket fell, the middle order collapsed like a pack of cards and Hong Kong went from 32 for 0 to 50 for 6. They couldn't really stage any comeback after that and were bowled out for just 70. For UAE, Haider Ali picked up 6 wickets for just 14 runs in his spell.

During the chase, Tanish Suri and Adeeb Usmani collected 25 runs for the 1st wicket partnership. Usmani got out for 16 while Suri went on to make 27 runs in 25 deliveries. Both the openers and Akshdeep Nath got out in quick succession of each other but Rahul Chopra hit 2 good looking boundaries and won the game for UAE in the 12th over itself with 7 wickets in hand.

Current Form Oman:

Oman lost to Nepal in the 1st Semi Final Match and they will now play against Hong Kong in the 3rd Place Playoff.

The top run scorer for Oman in the ACC Mens Premier Cup 2026 is Hammad Mirza with 178 runs to his name.

The top wicket taker for Oman in the ACC Mens Premier Cup 2026 is Hassnain Ali Shah with 13 scalps under his belt.

In the 1st Semi Final, Nepal batted first and they were bowled out for an under par total of 147. Dev Khanal and Aasif Sheikh both got out cheaply, followed by the wickets of Ishan Pandey and Rohit Kumar Paudel. Nepal were reduced to 36 for 4 when Dipendra Singh Airee and Basir Ahamad joined hands to take Nepal out of troubled waters. Ahamad made 46 while Airee scored 51 runs to help Nepal get past the 140 run mark as they finished at 147 in their innings.

During the chase, Oman lost their way right from the word go. They lost the key wickets of Hassnain Ul Wahab and Karan Sonavale quite early. Hammad Mirza played 42 deliveries for his knock of 5 runs, which was quite frustrating to see. The middle order also struggled against a great bowling display by Nepal. Sandeep Lamichhane and Dipendra Singh Airee both picked up 3 wickets each to help bowl Oman out for just a total of 60, as Nepal won the game by a huge margin of 87 runs.
