Hong Kong named embarrassing record

With this defeat, Hong Kong team has been eliminated from the tournament. But, during the match, he made a record that no team would like to remember. Hong Kong team dripped 6 catches while fielding. With this, she has joined the list of those teams, who have left 6 catches in the same innings of T20 International.

Till now this unwanted record was the names of big teams like India, South Africa and Australia. India did this in 2009 and South Africa against Sri Lanka in 2017 and Australia against Scotland in 2024.

There is also an interesting thing that three of these four times this record has been made against Sri Lanka. It seems that the fielding of opposing teams in front of Sri Lanka goes wrong. Whether it is the reason for fielding weakness or the fate of Sri Lanka, but this figure is quite interesting.
