Sri Lanka were on the back foot after a batting collapse against Hong Kong, but managed to register a four-wicket win to remain unbeaten in the Asia Cup 2025. Chasing 150 runs, the Asian giants were 127/6 at one stage. However, Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga batted smartly to seal the win in the 19th over. Lankans were cruising at one stage when Pathum Nissanka (68 runs) was in the middle, but his dismissal allowed Hong Kong to stage a comeback.

Earlier, Nizakat Khan (52*), Anshy Rath (48) and Zeeshan Ali (23) batted well for Hong Kong.
