The Asia Cup 2025 continues with its third clash as Bangladesh face Hong Kong at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi under the lights. The Tigers will be aiming to kick-start their campaign with a win on September 11, while Hong Kong seek redemption after their heavy loss to Afghanistan in the tournament opener.

Bangladesh

Litton Das’ side arrive in Abu Dhabi on the back of strong recent form, having beaten the Netherlands 2-0 in their last T20I series and registering a series win against Pakistan as well. The batting unit looks balanced, with Tanzid Hasan and Emon expected to set the tone at the top. Litton and Hridoy are expected to strengthen the middle order.

On the bowling front, Bangladesh boast variety. Mustafizur Rahman’s cutters are tailor-made for Abu Dhabi’s two-paced pitches, while Taskin Ahmed’s pace can trouble Hong Kong’s top order.

Hong Kong

After being humbled by Afghanistan in the tournament opener, Hong Kong need a quick turnaround to stay alive in the competition. Their batting hinges heavily on Babar Hayat’s explosiveness at the top, while Anshuman Rath and Zeeshan Ali will need to contribute significantly to keep the scoreboard moving.

The bowling unit will once again look to captain Yasim Murtaza’s for breakthroughs. Support from veterans like Aizaz Khan and Ehsan Khan will be vital if Hong Kong are to challenge a strong Bangladeshi batting lineup.

BAN vs HK Head To Head Overview

Bangladesh and Hong Kong have played only one match against each other, and surprisingly, Hong Kong has won the match against Bengal Tigers back in 2014 in the T20 World Cup.

Sheikh Zayed Stadium Abu Dhabi Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium generally offers a fair contest between bat and ball. Batters can score freely once they settle in, but both pacers and spinners find assistance in the early stages. Since chasing has often proved simpler at this venue, captains winning the toss are expected to opt for bowling first and rely on their batting line-up to complete the job under lights.
