	Hong Kong's Women Fly To Pakistan - Match Day 1
		Hong Kong's Women's Cricket team encountered a baptism of fire in their first ever women's ODI match today in the awesome surroundings of the Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore, in the first match of a series against Pakistan to decide which team goes through to the World Cup Qualifying Series in Ireland next year.
		But thereafter Hong Kong struggled to contain the strong Pakistani batters and the runs steadily increased as Sajida Shah (53) and Sana Javed(117*) put on an excellent partnership mixing defense with aggression as Pakistan finished their allotted overs with an impressive 292 for the loss of 4 wickets.
		But Hong Kong showed excellent determination and team spirit, particularly in the field, and will take heart from the positive performances of several of their players going into the second match of the series to be played on 19th September at the beautiful Bagh-i-Jinnah ground.
