Hong Kong’s Asia Cup 2025 campaign got off to a nightmare start on Tuesday, suffering a heavy defeat against Afghanistan, and things may not get easier as they prepare to face an in-form Bangladesh side in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
Rashid Khan’s men delivered a complete performance in the opener, piling up 188/6 before skittling Hong Kong to just 94/9. The gulf in quality was clear, with Afghanistan’s T20 stalwarts dominating across batting, bowling, and fielding. Hong Kong’s batting, in particular, struggled against the relentless spin attack, leaving the associate nation searching for answers.
Next up for Hong Kong are Bangladesh, a side brimming with confidence after a string of impressive series wins. Under the leadership of Litton Das, the Tigers have notched back-to-back bilateral T20I victories over the Netherlands and Pakistan, and also claimed a morale-boosting triumph against Sri Lanka.
