Barras go down to Hong Kong again

After being sent in by Barramundis’ captain, Assad Vala, Hong Kong piled on the runs in Dubai to post a mammoth 4/323 off their allotted 50 overs.

Anshuman Rath was the star with the bat for Hong Kong, batting right through the innings to post an unbeaten 143 off 137 balls. Rath was ably supported by in-form Hong Kong captain, Babar Hayat, who smashed 89 off 80 balls.

John Boge Reva (2/46) was the only multiple wicket-take for the Hebou PNG Barramundis, while Vala (1/22) picked up a single wicket.
