Afghanistan will face Hong Kong in the very first match of the tournament. This match will be played at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Afghan captain Rashid Khan and Hong Kong captain Yasim Murtaza would like to start the tournament with a win. Recently Pakistan defeated Afghanistan in the final of the triangular series. The Afghan team will have to forget this defeat and move forward.

Talking about Afghanistan's probable playing eleven, wicketkeeper-batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal can open the innings. Both will try to give a strong start to the team. Gurbaz's form is a matter of concern for the team. He was not in form in most of the matches of the recently concluded triangular series. He can regain his form against Hong Kong. At the same time, Sediqullah Atal would like to maintain his form.

Ibrahim Zadran, Azmatullah Umarzai, Karim Janat, Darvesh Rasooli, Mohammad Nabi and captain Rashid Khan can be seen playing in the middle order. The responsibility of bowling can be given to Noor Ahmed, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Fazalhaq Farooqi.
