What to expect and where to watch?

Bangladesh Vs Hong Kong: Bangladesh’s Asian Cup 2025 campaign starts against Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi. They plan to maintain their ongoing streak of securing three successive T20I victories. Their confidence comes from a powerful batting lineup spearheaded by Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, supported by spin bowlers such as Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain. Bangladesh’s batting team has become more aggressive over the past year, thanks to players like Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon starting off strong and Shamim Hossain and Jaker Ali finishing well in the final innings.

Hong Kong, on the other hand, lost heavily to Afghanistan in their opener, managing just 94 for 9 while chasing 189. Their batting collapsed, leaving Babar Hayat to fight a lone battle with 39 runs, including three sixes. Despite this, Hong Kong will carry the memory of their famous win against Bangladesh in the 2014 T20 World Cup, with Babar Hayat and Nizakat Khan still around from that side. 

Bangladesh Vs Hong Kong: Probable Playing XI

The Bangladesh cricket team is coming into the tournament on the back of three straight T20I series wins, while Hong Kong lost their opening game to Afghanistan by 94 runs. Bangladesh’s batting has improved in power-hitting, with Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon leading in six-hitting this year, while Hong Kong’s top order struggled in their first match, with only Babar Hayat scoring runs. 

Bangladesh’s bowling team includes three fast bowlers named Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib, and two spinners named Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain. Hong Kong relies heavily on their spinners, Ehsan Khan and Yasim Murtaza, as their medium pacers gave in against Afghanistan.
