Dhaka, September 12, 2025 — Bangladesh cruised to a commanding seven-wicket win against Hong Kong in their Group A encounter of the Asia Cup on Friday, sealing victory with 10 balls left in the innings.
Hong Kong, batting first, managed to post a defendable total at the neutral venue, showing grit and determination against a more experienced side. While their batsmen provided a strong start, the Bangladeshi bowlers maintained steady discipline to keep the target within reach.
Bangladesh’s chase was anchored by their senior players, who guided the innings with a calm and calculated approach. Partnerships in the middle overs ensured the team remained in control throughout the pursuit.
“We aimed to play a balanced game and keep our focus on the chase,” said the Bangladesh captain after the match. “Our bowlers executed the plan effectively, and the batsmen ensured we crossed the line with composure.”
Despite Hong Kong’s spirited performance, their bowling attack failed to sustain pressure in the second innings. Bangladesh’s calculated aggression saw them through, leaving Hong Kong searching for answers.
This victory positions Bangladesh strongly within Group A, boosting their chances of advancing further in the tournament. Meanwhile, Hong Kong will look to regroup quickly as they prepare for their next challenge.
