Bangladesh (BAN) will face Hong Kong (HK) in the third match of the Asia Cup 2025 on Thursday, September 11, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi

Bangladesh begin their Asia Cup 2025 journey when they face Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi. Led by Litton Das, the Tigers enter the tournament in strong form, having won six of their last nine T20Is, including series victories over Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the Netherlands. Their recent consistency makes them one of the dark horses in this competition

For Hong Kong, the stakes are already high. After suffering a 94-run defeat to Afghanistan in the opening fixture, Yasim Murtaza’s side face a must-win scenario to keep their tournament hopes alive.

The Sheikh Zayed Stadium surface usually tilts towards batters, providing plenty of chances for fluent stroke play, though bowlers come into the game as the innings wears on. Slower deliveries in particular can be difficult to handle, requiring batters to adjust their approach. Captains winning the toss are likely to choose batting first and aim to post a strong total.
