Bangladesh A will enter Match 3 of the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 against Hong Kong as clear favourites, thanks to their depth, experience, and recent form. Led by Akbar Ali, the squad boasts a strong core of domestic performers and emerging talents who have consistently featured in Bangladesh’s domestic and A-team circuits. Players like Yasir Ali, Rakibul Hasan, and Mrittunjoy Chowdhury bring a wealth of experience and match-winning ability, while Mahidul Ankon and Meherob Hasan add stability in the middle order.
In contrast, Hong Kong’s squad, though spirited and featuring seasoned campaigners like Babar Hayat and Anshuman Rath, lacks the same level of exposure to high-intensity contests. Their bowling attack, while disciplined, may struggle to contain Bangladesh A’s aggressive top order and versatile spin options.
With a balanced mix of pace, spin, and batting depth, Bangladesh A appear better equipped to adapt to conditions and handle pressure moments. Unless Hong Kong produce something extraordinary, the Tigers’ second-string side should dominate proceedings and strengthen their position in the tournament.
Hong Kong may be the underdogs on paper, but they bring a wealth of experience and match awareness that could trouble Bangladesh A in Match 3 of the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025. Led by the seasoned Yasim Murtaza, the squad features several battle-hardened campaigners like Babar Hayat, Anshuman Rath, and Nizakat Khan, players who have consistently delivered in high-pressure Associate and franchise tournaments.
Their batting unit is capable of explosive starts and steady rebuilds, with Rath and Hayat known for anchoring innings while accelerating when needed. In the bowling department, the likes of Ehsan Khan, Yasim Murtaza, and Aizaz Khan offer control and variation, while young pacers like Shiv Mathur and Ateeq Iqbal bring fresh energy.
If they can strike early with the ball and apply scoreboard pressure, they have the tools to force Bangladesh A into errors. With a fearless mindset and a core that has played together for years, Hong Kong are more than capable of scripting an upset and shaking up the group standings. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
