Identical to team India, Pakistan’s cricket campaign in the Asian Games 2023 got underway earlier today.

Pakistan handed a gigantic 68-run defeat to Hong Kong in the anticipated fixture, which ended up in a one-sided affair.
Arafat Minhas, despite the early entrance failure, hammered a crucial 25 runs for Pakistan in the second Quarter Final against Hong Kong. Minhas further scalped two wickets during Pakistan’s run defense to end up as their MVP in the do-or-die affair. The 18-year-old had made his debut in the national T20 side earlier this year and certainly has a bright future ahead.
