Bangladesh begin their Asia Cup 2025 campaign on Thursday night against Hong Kong at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. It is a fixture that will revive memories of 2014, when Hong Kong stunned Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup. But this time, Litton Das’ side arrive in strong form, having won three T20I series on the bounce.
For Hong Kong, the challenge is steep. They were dismantled by Afghanistan in the tournament opener, bowled out for 94 in a 94-run defeat. Babar Hayat remains their key batter, while Yasim Murtaza’s spin attack will again be in focus. Bangladesh, meanwhile, will look to openers Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon to set the tone, while Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman handle the ball.
