Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy’s Match-Westing Partnership for the third wicket was a throwback to the early days of t20 batting, when minimising risk was still trendy. The Duo Proved That The Retro Quality it imbibed was still as bangladesh cantered to a service-windet Victory Against Hong Kong Kong At The Zayed Cricket Stadium Here to Get Its ASI CUPAGN OFF TATS Winning start.
They diligently tailgated the required rate Till the 10-Over Mark, with 74 Runs on the Board and Litton and Litton and Hridoy Batting on an Identical 14 off 15 balls.
After two more overs of circumation and with the asking rate nudging Seven, Litton Burgt Out the Reverse Sweep to End A 32-Ball Boundary Drout. That open the floodgates, as the bangladesh skipper shelved cautions for Flair to Smash Four Fours and A Six in the Next 24 Balls. However, he could fall the final flourish, Falling with just two Runs needed.
As it happy: ban v hkg highlights
His partner, hridoy, complete the task with an anticlimactic single, a fitting end to another one-sided contest in the tournament.
Earlier, Hong Kong Excited Its Expectations after Being Asked To Bat. Five of its batters had their pads on when they lined up for the national antems. It was perhaps a procautationary measure as hong kong had lost three wickets in 14 balls against Afghanistan a couple of nights ago.
However, the no. 5 Batter Ambled in only in the 12th over, after zeeshan ali and nizakat khan had added 41 runs at a run-a-ball. It wasn’t a scene-shifting alliance, but a study resistance that kept hong kong in the contest at the halfway stage.
Skipper yasim murtaza could accept heart added heart to hong kong’s total if not for a horrible mix-up with nizakat in the 18th over, but even then, it may not have been there.
