He started and was 0 for 2 versus Taiwan. He went 1 for 4 with their only RBI as a starter at catcher against Pakistan and did not bat against South Korea after replacing Chun-Yeung Wu. As Hong Kong was shut out by both Taiwan and South Korea, Tsang's RBI against Pakistan was their only RBI of the Games. He played in the 2013 East Asian Games.
