Hong Kong is a division higher and it gives us a good bench mark for the next level. Their power overwhelmed us as they clouted 4 sixes and ended up with 4 batters over 100% SR (scoring ratio) to run away with the match in under 11 overs. We will get a rematch tomorrow in Pittsburgh and I will be more aggressive at bat, and also plan to mix up the bowling strategy and go after their big hitters, especially Chapman.
