We've been working really hard for the last two years, and we're capable of getting into the Super Six. "The combination of Nadeem and Ehsan has performed well in the past. I just bowled in the right area, and the result came."While their win over a fancied Afghanistan team might have surprised many, captain Babar Hayat wasn't one of them, and he insisted that Hong Kong's success was the result of hard work and the progress made over the last few years."These guys have been performing well for the last three or four years," Hayat said. I didn't do anything special, just bowled one line. "In Hong Kong, we have the same wickets, with the turn. Every team that has played here has remarked about the amount of turn on offer."There was a lot of turn," Ehsan said. He was helped by the conditions in Bulawayo. As a team, we always stick together, and we believed that we could beat them."Ehsan's spell started with two wickets in his very first over - Rahmat Shah and Ihsanullah - and there was no let up in pressure. I'm so happy that it came against Afghanistan, a Test nation. Ehsan's 4 for 33 is his career best, and to make it even sweeter it came against a Full Member."Thanks to almighty Allah, I got the Man-of the-Match award. ICC"This was my dream," Ehsan Khan, the offspinner, said as he led a victorious Hong Kong team from the field at the Bulawayo Athletic Club.Hong Kong gather around wicket-taker Ehsan Khan
