Bangladesh and Hong Kong haven’t faced each other a lot at the global level in cricket. But even in the limited fixtures, both sides have shown a great fight.
Their first meeting back in 2004 saw Bangladesh dominate an inexperienced Hong Kong. But a decade later, Hong Kong returned the favours.
The Hong Kong side stunned Bangladesh on their home soil in the 2014 T20 World Cup. Hong Kong pulled off a miraculous two-wicket victory against the hosts.
The fierceness between Bangladesh and Hong Kong will reach new heights when they take on each other in the Asia Cup 2025. They are set to clash on September 11 in Abu Dhabi.
On that note, let’s look at the Bangladesh vs Hong Kong head-to-head record, stats, and previous matches.
