6:30 PM IST The captain of Bangladesh, Litton Das, is also the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his match-winning knock of 59 off 39 deliveries. He praises his team's performance, emphasizing the significance of winning the first game of the Asia Cup 2025. Das highlights the pressure that comes with playing in the Asia Cup, but notes that his team played exceptionally well. Das expresses satisfaction with Bangladesh's bowling attack, which has performed well over the past couple of years. He specifically mentions Rishad Hossain for doing well in recent years, providing valuable support to the captain. Regarding his own knock, Das acknowledges that Hong Kong, China batted well, and Bangladesh had to bowl effectively during the middle overs. He also noted that the large ground and slower wicket required his team to take singles and doubles strategically.

6:24 PM IST Bangladesh is just a hit away from winning. They need 6 runs off 24 balls. Litton Das is huffing and puffing and is down on his haunches. Understandably, the humidity can be unforgiving out there. Eventually gets back on his feet and is good to go.

6:23 PM IST ... THE PRESENTATION ...

6:22 PM IST The captain of Hong Kong, China, Yasim Murtaza, reflects that he is pleased to see the way their batters performed. But admits that it would have been much better if one of them batted throughout the innings. On his run out, he says these things can happen on the ground. Also stresses working hard on the areas that need improvement. Points that they gave away too many freebies against Afghanistan, but highlights that they came with a plan in this match. Credits Litton Das and Tawhid Hridoy for batting well together.
