Match Preview
Bangladesh holds a slight advantage due to their head-to-head record and a well-rounded squad. However, Afghanistan’s spin-heavy attack, led by Rashid Khan, could take advantage of the conditions in Abu Dhabi. A close contest is anticipated, with the team batting second likely favored due to the dew. A score of 150 or more may be defendable if spinners dominate the game. Afghanistan’s aggressive batting lineup gives them a chance for an upset, especially if Gurbaz hits form early on.
In the 8th match of the Asia Cup 2025 between Sri Lanka vs Hong Kong, Sri Lanka beat Hong Kong by four wickets. Sri Lanka won the toss and asked Hong Kong China to bat first. HKC batted first and scored 149 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 20 overs. Sri Lanka, while chasing, started slowly, but the middle order helped the team to achieve the target in the given overs with four wickets in hand. Sri Lanka has confirmed its place in the Super 4 stage.
