**Sri Lanka Edges Out Hong Kong in Thrilling Asia Cup Clash**

**Dubai, UAE** – Sri Lanka secured a narrow 4-wicket victory over Hong Kong in a tense Asia Cup 2025 T20I match held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field. Hong Kong posted a total of 149/4 in their 20 overs, led by a resilient unbeaten half-century from Nizakat Khan (52*). Anshuman Rath contributed a solid 48.

Sri Lanka’s chase was anchored by Pathum Nissanka’s impressive 68. However, Nissanka’s run-out triggered a mini-collapse, with Sri Lanka losing four wickets for just 8 runs, injecting drama into the final overs. Wanindu Hasaranga’s quickfire 20* off 9 balls ultimately guided Sri Lanka to victory with 1.1 overs to spare, finishing at 153/6 in 18.5 overs. Yasim Murtaza took 2 wickets for Hong Kong, while Aizaz Khan, Ehsan Khan and Ayush Shukla each grabbed one.

Despite the loss, Hong Kong’s campaign in the Asia Cup comes to an end. Their bowlers put Sri Lanka under pressure, and costly dropped catches proved detrimental to their chances.

With this win, Sri Lanka now has 4 points in Group B. Afghanistan sit in second position with 2 points, followed by Bangladesh, who also have 2 points.
