    Asia Cup: Nissanka, Hasaranga Power Sri Lanka To Four-wicket Win Over Hong Kong

    By IANS News September 15, 2025 • 23:52 PM View: 981
    Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Pathum Nissanka hit a composed 44-ball 68 while Wanindu Hasaranga slammed a late cameo of 20 not out off just nine balls to guide Sri Lanka to a nervy four-wicket win over Hong Kong in their Asia Cup Group B clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday.

    Chasing 150, Sri Lanka were on track to chase the total easily, thanks to Nissanka getting some pristine timing on his shots. Though Hong Kong bounced back by causing a meltdown of Sri Lanka’s middle order, their batting depth ensured they got over the line with seven balls to spare in what was also the tournament’s first thriller game.

    Hong Kong, meanwhile, will rue missed opportunities – six dropped catches and a costly no-ball from skipper Yazir Murtaza in the 18th over proved to be decisive. They had Sri Lanka under pressure and could have scripted a memorable upset, but instead ended their campaign with numerous ‘what-if’ thoughts.
