Sri Lanka A strike early on in the powerplay to inflict 2 wickets of Hong Kong at a score of just 11 runs in back-to-back deliveries from Traveen Mathews. He did miss out on a hat-trick but picked the crucial breakthroughs of Zeeshan Ali (8 off 10) and Babar Hayat for a golden duck.
1st innings powerplay score: 46
2nd innings powerplay score: 47
Not much difference in the 1st innings and 2nd innings powerplay score. How much can Hong Kong score here?

While Sri Lanka A had a narrow defeat against Afghanistan A, Team Hong Kong were literally crushed by Bangladesh A in their opening Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 match.
HK did well to post 167 on the board, thanks to Habibur Rahman Sohan's unbeaten 35-ball 100, but it was their bowling attack that let them down.
Bangladesh A took only 11 overs to claim an 8-wicket victory.
HK: 167/8 (20)
BAN-A: 171/2 (11)

In response, Afghanistan A chased down the total with 1 wicket left through Sediqullah Atal's half-century and a few handy knocks from Darwish Abdul Rasooli, Nangeyalia Kharote and Qais Ahmed.
