Bangla Press Desk: Bangladesh begin their Asia Cup campaign tonight in Abu Dhabi with what looks, at least on paper, like the softest assignment in Group B. Their opponents, Hong Kong, were dismantled by Afghanistan in the tournament’s first game and arrive carrying the scars of a 94-run defeat.
Liton Das and his side come in with confidence after three straight T20I series wins. They have embraced a more aggressive batting approach, clearing the ropes with regularity. Openers Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon have turned six-hitting into a friendly rivalry, striking 23 and 22 respectively this year. Liton himself has been in prime touch, leading Bangladesh in T20I runs in 2025.
Still, Hong Kong cannot be taken lightly.
The memory of 2014, when they stunned Bangladesh in Chattogram during the T20 World Cup, lingers. Two of that side — Babar Hayat and Nizakat Khan — remain in the squad. Hayat top-scored again in the loss to Afghanistan, hitting 39 while others fell around him.
