Mariko Hill, OUT!
Mariko Hill has to walk back straight after the break. She looks to cut a ball too close to the off stump and is adjudged caught behind. Hill though is not happy with that decision from the umpire and stands her ground, but eventually has to walk back. Shreyanka Patil has her second wicket.
HKG: 24/5 (10.1)

DRINKS BREAK
We are half away through the innings and the Hong Kong innings is just stuck. The Indian bowlers are all over them and the only solace for Hong Kong is the fact that they still have Mariko Hill in the middle.
HKG: 24/4 (10)

Shreyanka Patil STRIKES!
Shreyanka Patil strikes with her very first delivery in the India A colours. She came round the wicket and pitches the ball outside off stump. Lamplough looks to sweep, but the prodigious turn means that she misses it completely. Stumps rattled.
HKG: 19/4 (8.1)

First boundary of the match
Mariko Hill finds the first boundary of the match against B Anusha.
HKG: 17/3 (7)

END OF POWERPLAY
Not a single boundary in the first six overs - not a scene you would see often in a T20. But such has been India's superiority that Hong Kong have been completely tied down. Opener Mariko Hill seem to be fighting a lone battle, for now.
HKG: 12/3 (6)

Kary Chan, OUT!
This is fantastic from India. They keep mounting the pressure with dot balls and reap rewards. Hong Kong captain Kary Chan looks to take on Mannat Kashyap with a lofted shot down the ground, but fails to get any connection. Caught at mid-off by Kanika Ahuja.
HKG: 5/3 (3.5)
- 13 Jun 2023 5:45 AM GMT
Sadhu STRIKES!
A beautiful incoming delivery from Titas Sadhu and it goes through Shanzeen Shahzad's defence to upset the timbers.
HKG: 4/2 (2.1)
- 13 Jun 2023 5:41 AM GMT
NATASHA MILES, OUT!
Left-arm spinner Mannat Kashyap from the other end and she strikes straightaway. Natasha Miles gets down while looking to sweep and hits it straight to Gongadi Trisha, who takes a good low catch at square leg.
HKG: 3/1 (1.3)

Tidy over from Sadhu
A tidy first over from Titas Sadhu with only three singles coming off it.
HK: 3/0 (1)
