Kowloon Cricket Club, Kowloon – In a thrilling encounter at the Kowloon Cricket Club on Sunday, 9th February, Hong Kong, China emerged victorious against Bahrain in the ICC CWC Challenge League B match. The home team won by 9 wickets, chasing down Bahrain's total of 182 with ease, thanks to a stellar performance by Martin Coetzee, who was named Player of the Match.

Asif Ali provided some resistance with a well-made 40 off 63 balls, but it was Sohail Ahmed who stood out with an unbeaten 70 off 66 deliveries, including 1 four and 6 sixes. His aggressive batting towards the end helped Bahrain post a respectable total of 182.
