Bangladesh vs Hong Kong Asia Cup 2025 Match 3 Highlights: Bangladesh defeated Hong Kong comfortably in the Asia Cup through a carefully-planned batting exhibition by captain Litton Das. His consistent strategy, coupled with a well-built alliance with Towhid Hridoy saw Bangladesh through to a successful pursuit. The two worked at turning the strike, with their patiently-gathered singles and doubles, until Litton surged forward with limits to complete the task. The calculated strategy used by Bangladesh was a measure of their understanding on the net run rate implications of the tournament.
Litton Das said, “It was important to win the first game. We have played some good cricket in the last two series, but the Asia Cup can be a different pressure.” He complimented the consistency of their pace attack and the introduction of leg-spinner Rishad who had a major role to play. Hong Kong captain Yasim Murtaza acknowledged that his batters have done much better than he had expected but hoped to score big. He added, “We know what we need to work on and hopefully will do better next time.” Even the disciplined push by HKC was not enough to resist the partnership of Bangladesh.
