The action shifts to Abu Dhabi today as Litton Das-led Bangladesh begin their campaign against Hong Kong at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

With six wins in their last nine T20Is—including series triumphs over Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the Netherlands—the Tigers enter with momentum and intent.

For Hong Kong, it’s a must-win fixture after a crushing 94-run defeat to Afghanistan. Yasim Murtaza’s side must regroup quickly to stay alive in the tournament.

It is ultimately going to be a close contest between evenly-matched teams. Yesterday you expected a close contest and today you will get that contest when two Minnows team's play each other.

:klopp :kp
BD should try to win big as NRR can become a factor. :inti
 
bro Liton is captain of Bangladesh so I only wish him all the best and for rest of team bad luck :klopp :kp
 
If BD win the toss, they should bat first.

Get some batting practice before Afghan/SL games. :inti:inti:inti

Post 200. Bundle Hong Kong out for 100-110. That would be great.
 
Great opportunity for Bangladesh to show that they are king of the minnows.

Time to correct that loss to HK back in 2014.

Hopefully, they have enough talent for this at least
 
Tanzim celebrating Babar Hayat wicket like he just dismissed Viv. Great attitude.

It's what Bangladesh need to beat teams like HK
 
Very good bowling from Tanzim...ball is swinging a bit. Looks like Abu Dhabi is a good track for seamers.
 
I have not seen this much bounce in UAE for any bowler.
I hate to say but Bangladesh is actually a good team now. I think they will definitely top their group and can reach final as well.

Taskin, Tanzim and Fizz is a great fast bowling trio for these conditions.

There is a close competition between BD and Afg as who is the 2nd best team in Asia

:kp
 
Hong Kong have decent spinners

Their pacers are crap but they can bowl decent overs of spin

Well set up for 150 here
 
Conceding 143 against this Hong Kong side is kinda embarrassing tbh

This is the type of team you roll over. They've never even won a match in the history of this tournament.

THey did win one match. THey beat bangladesh in 2016. Back in the days when Mark Chapman played for HOnkong
 
I don't understand why Bangladesh played Mahedi over Nasum. Hong Kong's batting line-up is loaded with right-handers. 5 right-handers in their top 7.
