A rewarding day for Bangladesh captain Litton Das, who was able to use legspinner Rishad Hossain's performance to great effect as his side defeated Hong Kong by 257 runs at the Victoria Stadium.

Despite coming in as favourites, Bangladesh struggled to assert their dominance against Hong Kong, who bowled tightly and restricted Bangladesh to 226 all out in just over 48 overs. Yet, they remained calm and relied on the principles of match rotation to chip away at Hong Kong's batting lineup. A test of character for two of Asia's cricketing nations.

In response, Hong Kong struggled to deal with Bangladesh's diversified bowling attack, with captain Das himself taking three wickets. With the spotlight on Hossain, who impressed with 2/31, Hong Kong's batting was stifled throughout, and they were ultimately dismissed for a subpar 143.

In victory, Bangladesh will look to capitalize on this confident showing ahead of their upcoming matches. Das, too, will be happy with his decisions and fostering a sense of camaraderie in the squad, boosting the team's chances at the global stage.
