Here's what both captains said after the toss
Anshuman Rath, Hong Kong captain: "We'll have a bat. We saw the yesterday's game. Pitch stayed true throughout. Hoping it will roughen up a bit through the course. No better place to do it than in the Asia Cup. We're ready, we deserve to be here. Especially on the back of losing ODI status in March. We've beaten top teams before, hope we could do it again."
Sarfraz Ahmed, Pakistan captain: "Wanted to bat first, but that's not in our hands. Congrats to Hong Kong, this is a big event for them. Won't take them lightly, won't relax. Long tournament, we'll go match by match. If you see the last match, didn't see much spin. We're going in with four pacers and one spinner."
