Well then, three matches into the tournament, and we have witnessed three one-sided wins. Bangladesh's dominant victory marks the end of Match 3 in the Asia Cup 2025. Next up, Pakistan takes on Oman in Match 4 of the tournament in a Group A clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. That game will be played on Friday, September 12, 2025, and the first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). You can tune in an hour early for pre-match build-up and updates. Pakistan, led by Salman Agha, is looking strong after their recent T20I tri-series win, while Oman, captained by Jatinder Singh, will aim to upset the favorites. Cheers for now.
The captain of Bangladesh, Litton Das, is also the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his match-winning knock of 59 off 39 deliveries. He praises his team's performance, emphasizing the significance of winning the first game of the Asia Cup 2025. Das highlights the pressure that comes with playing in the Asia Cup, but notes that his team played exceptionally well. Das expresses satisfaction with Bangladesh's bowling attack, which has performed well over the past couple of years. He specifically mentions Rishad Hossain for doing well in recent years, providing valuable support to the captain. Regarding his own knock, Das acknowledges that Hong Kong, China batted well, and Bangladesh had to bowl effectively during the middle overs. He also noted that the large ground and slower wicket required his team to take singles and doubles strategically.
The captain of Hong Kong, China, Yasim Murtaza, reflects that he is pleased to see the way their batters performed. But admits that it would have been much better if one of them batted throughout the innings. On his run out, he says these things can happen on the ground. Also stresses working hard on the areas that need improvement. Points that they gave away too many freebies against Afghanistan, but highlights that they came with a plan in this match. Credits Litton Das and Tawhid Hridoy for batting well together.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier, Hong Kong, China posted 143/7 in 20 overs after a decent batting effort. Taskin Ahmed and Sakib troubled them early, dismissing Anshy Rath and Babar Hayat to leave Hong Kong at 34/2 after the Powerplay. Nizakat Khan and Zeeshan Ali esteadied the innings with a 41-run partnership before Tanzim Hasan Sakib broke it, dismissing Zeeshan for 30. Yasim Murtaza then accelerated with a 19-ball 28, but his run-out in the 18th over was a setback. Nizakat Khan top-scored with 42, but Hong Kong, China lost momentum and finished with a flurry of wickets. Tanzim Hasan Sakib bowled brilliantly for Bangladesh with 2/21, while Taskin Ahmed and Rishad Hossain took 2 wickets each.
Bangladesh's batting unit proved too strong for Hong Kong's bowlers, who struggled to pose a threat. Ateeq Iqbal took 2 wickets while Ayush Shukla managed to pick up one wicket, but it wasn't enough to trouble the Bangladeshi batters, who chased down the target methodically and with some ease.
Bangladesh openers, Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan, had a slow start in their chase of 144, playing cautiously but both were back in the hut for 47. Litton Das and Tawhid Hridoy then came together and stitched a match-winning partnership. Litton Das scored a half-century, while Tawhid Hridoy contributed with a score in the 30s. Their partnership sealed the win for Bangladesh, helping them breeze past Hong Kong, China.
Bangladesh kicks off its Asia Cup campaign with a dominant win over Hong Kong, China, securing a 7-wicket victory with 14 balls to spare. A convincing and professional performance all around! This marks the second straight defeat for Hong Kong, China, but they would walk off with some improved performances in all domains. Of course, it wasn't enough to challenge the opposition, but in cricket, or in any sport rather, you either win, or learn and improve from your mistakes.

Ateeq Iqbal To Litton Das OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Litton Das walks back and couldn't see his side through. Admonishes himself as he departs. A consolation wicket for Hong Kong, China. Quicker through the air by Ateeq, in front of the sticks, and spinning into the batter from the off stump line. Litton Das clears the front leg and tries to clear long on, but gets an inside edge onto the stumps behind. The 95-run partnership is broken for the third wicket. Litton Das departs for 59 (39) and Bangladesh need just 2 runs to win.

Ehsan Khan To Tawhid Hridoy
How has that missed the off pole? Arm ball, on a length, spinning into the batter. Tawhid Hridoy shapes ot heave that across the line, but misses and the ball passes close to the off pole before the keeper collects it.
Bangladesh is just a hit away from winning. They need 6 runs off 24 balls. Litton Das is huffing and puffing and is down on his haunches. Understandably, the humidity can be unforgiving out there. Eventually gets back on his feet and is good to go.

Yasim Murtaza To Litton Das
FIFTY FOR LITTON DAS! Off 33 deliveries! This is his 14th T20I half century. His golden patch with the bat continues as the skipper has stepped up from the front in this chase. On the shorter side, angling into the batter. Das waits back and pulls it to the left of deep square leg for a couple of runs.

Yasim Murtaza To Litton Das
SIX! Into the arc, and out of the park! Half volley, around middle and off, Litton Das picks the length in a trice and slogs it powerfully over deep mid-wicket for a massive six.
Bangladesh need just 22 runs from the last 5 overs. Tawhid Hridoy is helping himself with some fluids between the overs. It is very humid, and one can clearly see his jersey drenched in sweat. All good to continue now.
