Bangladesh will begin their Asia Cup 2025 campaign against Hong Kong at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, September 11. Litton Das’ men enter the tournament on a high, having won consecutive T20I series against Pakistan, Netherlands, and Sri Lanka.
Hong Kong, meanwhile, will look to bounce back after a heavy defeat against Afghanistan in their opening match. Despite being underdogs, the Hong Kong side will rely on captain Yasim Murtaza and experienced players like Babar Hayat to challenge the Bangla Tigers.
What Litton Das said ahead of the opener
At the pre-match press conference, Bangladesh captain Litton Das expressed confidence in his team’s form and preparation.
“We are coming into this tournament with good momentum. Hong Kong are a fighting side, so we have to respect them and stay focused,” said Das.
He also emphasized the importance of building momentum in Group B:
“In a tough group like this, every match counts. We want to start strong and set the tone for the Super 4.”
