Asia Cup Boost for Hong Kong
A decision by the Asia Cricket Council to increase the number of qualifying places available for the Asia Cup should be a boost for Hong Kong cricket. [More...]
A disappointed Hong Kong team returns to the territory after watching their hopes of qualifying for the Youth World Cup washed away. Needing to beat Malaysia in their last group match at the Youth Asia Cup in order to reach the semi-final round, rain forced the match to be abandoned with Hong Kong handily placed at 81-1. In the play-off for third and fourth, Hong Kong lost to UAE by four wickets. The two finalists of the tournament qualify as Asia's representatives for the Youth World Cup, to be played in Sri Lanka in January 2000.
Hong Kong's under 15 cricketers reached the final of the U15 Tuanku Ja'afar Cup (a.k.a. South East Asian Championships) played at Kuala Lumpur but were defeated by Malaysia by 46 runs. Earlier in the tournament, Hong Kong had beaten Singapore but had lost to Malaysia.
Hong Kong performed well in the early stages of the U23 Tuanku Ja'afar Cup and victories over Malaysia 'B' and Singapore ensured they met Malaysia 'A' in the final. A combination of rain and poor batting resulted in the Malaysians cruising to an easy victory in the final.
Hong Kong hosted the 2000 Under 13 Tuanku Ja'afar Cup in April 2000, with Malaysia and Singapore also competing. Despite a good victory over Singapore, the hosts failed to reach the final, which was won by Malaysia.
Despite some good individual performances by the Hong Kong Under 19 team, including a century to Stephen Hawinkels against Malaysia 'A', Hong Kong failed to reach the final, which was again won by Malaysia.
