All eight teams got a run on the first day with Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and South Africa joining Pakistan as winners.
Sri Lanka knocked off the 77 runs needed for victory over New Zealand thanks to openers Jeewantha Kulatunga and Indika de Saram being in superb touch with fluent knocks of 30 and 32 respectively to give the islanders a four-wicket win in the Sobers Group encounter.
In the Bradman Group, hosts Hong Kong hammered England in style. Chasing a modest total of 61, Hong Kong romped home to a five-wicket win with eight balls to spare. Last year’s player of the tournament Irfan Ahmed led the blitz with a sparkling unbeaten 34.
In the other game, South Africa chased down Australia’s 73-run total for the loss of three wickets, scrambling through for a single on the final ball of the match to earn the win.
