Hong Kong's men's cricket team thrashed Kenya by five wickets to wrap up the Uganda stage of the Cricket World Cup Challenge League - part of a long process of qualifying for the 2023 Cricket World Cup.

A half century by Aizaz Khan, whose partnership with Yasim Murtaza produced 97, saw the SAR successfully chase down a victory target of 135 with 96 balls to spare.

Murtaza also took four wickets and was named player of the match.

At the end of stage two and ten games played in total, Hong Kong are second in the table, one point behind the Group B leaders Uganda. The final stage takes place in Jersey.
