Thursday, September 11, will feature in the third game of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, which will take place between Bangladesh and Hong Kong at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The Bengal Tigers will aim to kick off their campaign on a high note by securing a victory against the associate nation. The Litton Das-led team has momentum going into the tournament. In the last nine T20Is, they have won six games, which included series wins against Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the Netherlands, respectively.
On the other hand, Yasim Murtaza-led team began their season with a heavy 94-run loss at the hands of Afghanistan in the tournament opener.
