hong kong vs sri lanka Though the scorecard shows Sri Lanka beating Hong Kong, the underdogs earned plenty of admiration with their fearless performance in Match 8 of the Asia Cup 2025.
Chasing 153, Hong Kong’s batting lineup fought with composure, led by Nizakat Khan and Babar Hayat, who stood tall against the Sri Lankan attack. Their steady partnerships kept the islanders worried, with the Colombo crowd unusually tense until the penultimate over.
Ultimately, Sri Lanka’s experience in crunch moments proved decisive, but Hong Kong’s ability to match one of Asia’s strongest sides has further strengthened calls for more opportunities for emerging nations on the big stage. Their spirited display may not have brought points, but it certainly won fans.
