Afghanistan vs Hong Kong T20I Live Cricket Score, Asia Cup 2025: Wounded AFG Look To Kick Off On Top

X/Afghanistan Cricket Board

AFG vs HKG Live Score, T20 Asia Cup 2025: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the T20 Asia Cup opener between Afghanistan and Hong Kong at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi. After losing to Pakistan in the UAE Tri-Series 2025 final, Afghanistan enters the event with a formidable and well-rounded squad captained by Rashid Khan. With Rashid, Noor Ahmad, Mohammad Nabi, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman among their ranks, their greatest strength is spin bowling. After a challenging Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, Rashid is back to his best. Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran provide support in the batting order, which eases the strain on Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the unproductive opener. Under Yasim Murtaza’s leadership, Hong Kong is cautiously optimistic. Their most dependable batsman has been Anshuman Rath, and he can provide the squad with a strong start when paired with Zeeshan Ali. It is anticipated that Yasim Murtaza and Ayush Shukla will lead the bowling. In their last T20I match, Hong Kong lost to Malaysia by 10 wickets in a rain-hit Asia Pacific Championship 2025 final.
