India vs Hong Kong Asia Cup 2022 prediction 

India are the top-ranked side in the world in this format and are clear favourites to win the upcoming game against Hong Kong.

Hong Kong have been playing well in recent times but lack the experience of playing against top sides in big tournaments. The visitors are likely to lose by a big margin against India.
