Bangladesh A will face Hong Kong in the third match of the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 at West End Park International Stadium, Doha, on Saturday, November 15.

Akbar Ali-led Bangladesh A will look to start the tournament on a strong note with a victory over Hong Kong. The team will rely on key players such as Yasir Ali, Tofael Ahmed, and Mahidul Islam Ankon to provide a solid foundation for a successful campaign.

Hong Kong, meanwhile, enter the tournament with a squad largely similar to their Asia Cup 2025 lineup. The team will aim to put past poor performances behind them and make a mark in the series. Yasim Murtaza will captain the side, supported by experienced players including Babar Hayat, Nizakat Khan, Anshuman Rath, and Ehsan Khan.

The surface is expected to be balanced, offering opportunities for both batters and bowlers. Seamers may extract swing with the new ball, while the pitch is likely to become more batting-friendly as the game progresses. The scoring might be easier if the batters stay in the crease for a longer period of time.

The 29-year-old Yasir Ali could be the key batter in this clash. Although he has played 11 T20s so far, his overall run tally has been modest. However, he boasts a healthy strike rate of 142.23, which gives him the ability to take the game away from the opposition from the very start.

Hong Kong skipper Yasim Murtaza could be the key bowler in this clash. He has claimed 75 wickets in his T20 career, a commendable tally at this level. His four-over spell will be crucial in putting pressure on the opposition and tightening the team’s grip on the match.
