Prime Minister Imran Khan is set to attend the Asia Cup Pakistan and India cricket match that is scheduled to take place on Wednesday in Dubai, according to media reports.

Earlier on Sunday, Pakistan thrashed an inexperienced Hong Kong by eight wickets in a one-sided match to open their Asia Cup campaign in style on Sunday.

It proved another cakewalk for Pakistan, like their two previous victories against Hong Kong, by 173 runs in the 2004 Asia Cup in Colombo and by 155 in Karachi four years later.

Hong Kong struggled after captain Anshuman Rath won the toss and chose to bat in the Group A opener.

Top two teams from each group will qualify for the Super Four stage, with the top two from that table contesting the September 28 final in Dubai.

This was a perfect warm-up for Pakistan ahead of their high-profile showdown with arch-rivals India, also in Dubai on Wednesday.
