Litton Das played a captain's knock to steer Bangladesh to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over a spirited Hong Kong side in the Asia Cup T20. The win, guided by Das's half-century, ensured Bangladesh successfully navigated a potential upset in the tournament.
Batting first, Hong Kong set a challenging target of 143-7, with opener Nizakat Khan leading the charge with a top score of 42. Despite their determined effort, Bangladesh's bowlers, notably Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Rishad Hossain, managed to keep the score in check.
In their chase, Bangladesh stumbled early, losing two quick wickets. However, skipper Litton Das, with a solid 59 runs, and Towhid Hridoy, with an unbeaten 35, stabilized the innings with a crucial 95-run partnership. Das reached his fifty off just 33 balls before getting dismissed. Hridoy went on to hit the winning run, sealing the victory and guiding Bangladesh away from a major shock. The T20 tournament serves as an important preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
