The Asia Cup 2025 is heating up, and Group B is already showing signs of becoming a tightly contested battle. Sri Lanka made it 2 wins from 2 matches in the tournament with a 4-wicket win against Hong Kong tonight, and climbing at the top of the Group B points table as well. 
 
Following them is Afghanistan who had made an impressive statement in their opening game, collecting 2 crucial points and a dominant net run rate (NRR) of +4.700. Their commanding performance had immediately positioned them as one of the teams to go through to the Super 4s in Group B. With strong all-round showings, Afghanistan looks like a side ready to challenge for the title.

Team Mat Won Lost NRR Drawn Pts
Sri Lanka 2 2 0 1.546 0 4
Afghanistan 1 1 0 4.7 0 2
Bangladesh 2 1 1 -0.65 0 2
Hong Kong, China 2 0 2 -2.151 0 0
 
   
Sri Lanka, the reigning champions, have kicked off their Asia Cup campaign in style with a dominant victory over Bangladesh and a hard fought win over Hong Kong, collecting their first 4 points and making a statement in Group B.
 
Bangladesh, who began their tournament on a high with a solid win in their opener, faced a setback in their second outing against Sri Lanka. The loss not only cost them momentum but also dented their net run rate, which now stands at -0.65, despite having 2 points from two matches.
 
As the group stage unfolds, a clear divide is beginning to emerge between the teams that have started strong and those still searching for form. Afghanistan, with their emphatic win earlier, also sit on 2 points but with a superior net run rate, giving them an edge in the standings.
 
With net run rate already playing a significant role, the remaining matches in Group B are poised to be crucial. Every run scored and every over bowled could make a difference in determining which teams advance to the Super Four. The race is still open, and fans can expect high-intensity contests ahead as teams look to secure their spot in the next round.
