The 3rd match of the Asia Cup 2025 will take place on Thursday, September 11, when Bangladesh (BAN) takes on Hong Kong (HK) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The Bengal Tigers will be looking to start their campaign off right and gain some confidence in Group B.

Bangladesh is led by Litton Das and enters the contest on a high note, having won six out of their last nine T20Is overall, led by series wins over Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the Netherlands. Yasim Murtaza's Hong Kong team will be looking to rebound quickly as they enter the match fresh off an embarrassing 94-run loss to Afghanistan in their opening game. This match is a must-win for Hong Kong to keep their qualification hopes alive.
