Bangladesh ANNIHILATED Hong Kong by seven wickets in their DP World Asia Cup 2025 opener — a DOMINANT statement victory in Lahore that sent a BRUTAL message to Group B.
Choosing to bowl first, Bangladesh’s attack STRANGLED Hong Kong from the get-go, RUTHLESSLY restricting them to a measly 143/7.

Young quick Tanzim Hasan Sakib TORMENTED the batters, snatching 2/21 including the critical scalps of Zeeshan Ali (30 off 34) and Hayat. Taskin Ahmed (2/38) and leggie Rishad Hossain (2/31) DESTROYED the middle order, while Mustafizur Rahman PUT THE CLAMPS ON with a chokehold spell of 4-0-20-0. A late cameo from Yasim Murtaza (28 off 19) did little to hide Hong Kong’s CARNAGE.

But the real FIREWORKS came in the chase. Captain Litton Das WENT BERSERK, unleashing a BLISTERING 59 off just 39 balls (6 fours, 1 six). Parvez Hossain Emon (19 off 14) and Towhid Hridoy (35* off 36) provided COLD-BLOODED support as Bangladesh MOWED DOWN the target in just 17.4 overs.

There was zero doubt — Litton Das OWNED THE STAGE, grabbing the Player of the Match trophy and announcing Bangladesh’s arrival with A VENGEANCE.
