🏏T20 Asia Cup 2025- BD vs HK 3rd Match, Group B, Abu Dhabi 🏏 - Page 8

Easy win for Bangladesh even though they were made to work for this one by a disciplined HKC side. The partnership between Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy taking Bangladesh to a win. They concentrated on taking the singles and were content to play the waiting game. When the stand reached a stage, Litton took risks and got the target down with boundaries. Eventually NRR will come into play at some stage and Litton was aware of that. Credit to HKC who took pace off and bowled to their strengths. They certainly put up a much better fight in this game.

Congrats Jo and BD fans

Bangladesh won by 7 wickets (with 14 balls remaining)

Litton Das, the Bangladesh captain is also the Player of the Match: Very important to win the first game. Last couple of series, we have played good cricket. But in Asia Cup, little bit of pressure comes automatically (smiles). We played well today. Last couple of years, our pace department has done really well. We were looking for a leg-spinner and Rishad, in the last two or three years (has done well for Bangladesh). (On the pitch) It was not easy to hit every ball, the ground is big so you have to play ones and twos.

Yasim Murtaza, Hong Kong captain: I am happy with the way our batters scored. But I will be happier if we got 160-170 plus - that would be a different total. (On his run-out) These things happen, so I don't mind. Once we go back, we know which area we need to work on and hopefully we do better next time. We gave too many freebies (against Afghanistan). Today, we came with the plan and this is what we implemented. They (Litton and Hridoy) had a good partnership and that is why the game ended on their side.

Congratulations to Bangladesh for their win against HK.
