Bangladesh showcased a disciplined bowling display to restrict Hong Kong to 143 for seven in their Asia Cup 2025 opener on Thursday.
Opting to field first, Litton Das’ side, who are undergoing a T20 transformation under his leadership, set the tone with a sharp powerplay performance.
Off-spinner Mahedi Hasan opened proceedings, but it was the pace duo of Taskin Ahmed and Tanzim Hasan Sakib who caused the early damage. With a hint of swing and seam available, the pair made life difficult for Hong Kong’s top order.
Taskin struck in his first over, removing Anshuman Rath (4) caught behind. Soon after, Tanzim responded to a six hit straight down the ground by Babar Hayat (14 off 12) with a superb outswinger that shattered the stumps. By the end of the powerplay, Hong Kong had crawled to 34 for two.
Zeeshan Ali (30 off 34) attempted to stabilize the innings, striking a six over extra cover against Rishad Hossain, but his stay ended when Mustafizur Rahman dismissed him in the 12th over.

Bangladesh’s attack, blending pace and spin, continued to keep the batters in check. Skipper Yasim Murtaza (28 off 19) was the only one who threatened to accelerate, with a clean pick-up shot off Tanzim sailing into the stands as his highlight.
Thanks largely to Murtaza’s late cameo, Hong Kong managed to push their total beyond the 140-run mark.
But how can fans watch the live streaming and telecast of the match globally? Take a look.
