The Pakistan team departed early Wednesday for the Hong Kong Sixes 2025. Skipper Abbas Afridi and team left for the three-day event, set from November 7 to 9.

Pakistan has been placed in Pool C, sharing space with India and Kuwait. First up, Kuwait on opening day. Then the big one against India at Mission Road Ground, Mong Kok. 

Hong Kong Sixes 2025 – All 4 Pools

  • Pool A: South Africa, Afghanistan, Nepal
  • Pool B: Australia, England, UAE
  • Pool C: India, Pakistan, Kuwait
  • Pool D: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, China

This short format is thrilling and full of surprises. In the last edition of the Hong Kong Super Sixes, Sri Lanka claimed the title in the final. Pakistan looked strong enough to win it all, but somehow, it slipped through their hands.

But this time the team looks different. They are all young and bold. You can sense they’re not scared of a short boundary or a quick spell. Khawaja Mohammad Nafay, Abdul Samad, and Saad Masood, are all fearless strikers who play as if every ball matters.

If everything clicks, Pakistan could meet South Africa again in the quarter-final on November 8. 

That’s the thing about this format, one over changes everything. One catch, and momentum swings. Few saw the last heartbreak coming. Maybe this time, they’ll see something else.
