Bangladesh will begin their Asia Cup campaign against Hong Kong at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium here on Thursday, a seemingly straightforward opener against a side that is still reeling from a heavy defeat to Afghanistan.
Hong Kong were thrashed by 94 runs in the Asia Cup opener on Tuesday, reduced to 94-9 in reply to Afghanistan’s 188-6.
With only two batters reaching double figures, their fragile line-up will be under pressure once again, while their bowlers must quickly regroup after being taken apart at the death.
Chasing the elusive title, Bangladesh, on the other hand, will see this as an opportunity to start on a strong note and settle into the tournament before the tougher assignments against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
