Asia Cup: Litton Das’ 59 Leads Bangladesh To Seven-wicket Win Over Hong Kong (Ld)
Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium: Skipper Litton Das starred with a fluent 59 off 39 balls as Bangladesh registered their first-ever T20I win over Hong Kong by cruising to a seven-wicket victory in their Asia Cup Group B game at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Chasing 144, Litton’s partnership of 95 off 69 balls for the third wicket with Towhid Hridoy (35 not out) helped them reach the target with 14 balls to spare. Litton’s composed fifty and right time of shift in gears, after being 26 off 24 balls at one point, ensured Bangladesh were in control of the chase.
After managing just 94/9 in their previous outing against Afghanistan, Hong Kong posted a more competitive 143/7, thanks to Nizakat Khan and Zeeshan Ali hitting 42 and 30 respectively while captain Yasim Murtaza injected momentum with a brisk 28 off 19 balls. But a flurry of wickets in the death overs curtailed Hong Kong’s push for a big finishing flourish.
