That's It! Bangladesh secure a comfortable victory against Hong Kong, China. Hong Kong, China set a modest 144-run target infront of Bangladesh and the latter didn't break a sweat chasing the target down. Litton Das played the biggest scoring a thunderous half-century. He played some eye-pleasing shots as well and received solid support from Towhid Hridoy. 

Out! Litton Das departs but he has taken Bangladesh to the brink of victory. A solid knock played by the captain and he has led from the front. Was trying to hit Ateeq Iqbal through the line but the ball ended up rattling his stumps. Bangladesh inches from a winning start here. Litton Das b Ateeq Iqbal 59(39).

Was trying to hit Ateeq Iqbal through the line but the ball ended up rattling his stumps. Bangladesh inches from a winning start here. Litton Das b Ateeq Iqbal 59(39).

Two experienced and talented batters of Bangladesh are out there in the form of Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy and none has taken any step to put their team in trouble. Rotated the strike and have taken the game deep with occasional boundaries. They have things under control. 

Ateeq Iqbal dismissed Tanzid Hasan Tamim but still Bangladesh didn't slow down with Towhid Hridoy and captain Litton Das out on the crease. They have used the opportunities to score to their advantage and powered the chase on. Any patch of tight overs can still turn the game over in faovur of Hong Kong, China. 

Out! Parvez Hossain Emon is the first one to be dismissed from Bangladesh.  Ayush Shukla has been bowling in a probing manner from the start. Parvez goes after him the ball arrives to him later and he already went to with the shot. One hand came off the bat and the ball travelled to the only fielder stationed in deep mid-wicket. Parvez Hossain Emon c Hayat b Ayush Shukla 19(14).

Out! End of the innings for Hong Kong China. They have managed to reach a competitive total, thanks to the partnership of Nizakat Khan and Zeeshan Ali and later some shots from Yasim Murtaza. They structured their innings in such a way but in the last over, Taskin Ahmed didn't allow shots and also scalped the wicket of Aizaz Khan. Bangladesh will back themselves to chase this total. Aizaz Khan c Jaker Ali b Taskin Ahmed 5(6).

Out! Two wickets in one over. First it was the wicket of the well-set Nizakat Khan who was taking everything on. Went for the big shot but got holed out in the deep. Next it was Kinchit Shah, who attempted an expansive sweep, only to get trapped infront of the wicket.  Hong Kong need some big shots here. Kinchit Shah lbw b Rishad Hossain 0(1) and Nizakat Khan c Tanzim Hasan Sakib b Rishad Hossain 42(40).

Out! The dangerous Yasim Murtaza departs due to a big mix up. Punched hard, but straight in the hands of the cover fielder. Both set off for a run but Nizakat Khan saw the danger first and stopped first. Yasim Murtaza was too committed to return to the crease and ended up being the one to be dismissed.  Yasim Murtaza run out (Rishad Hossain/Mustafizur) 28(19).

Hong Kong, China captain Yasim Murtaza has landed some lusty blows and tried to up the ante. The Hong Kong, China innings was getting stalled for a moment but Murtaza has successfully injected some chaos with well-set Nizakat Khan at the other end. 

Out! It is Tanzim Hasan Sakib who provides the breakthrough yet again. Zeeshan Ali was looking good and was taking Hong Kong, China to a competitive total. Tanzim gets Zeeshan Ali to get a top edge on the pull shot by following him and Mustafizur Rahman takes a very good catch in the end. Big blow for Hong Kong China.  Zeeshan Ali c Mustafizur b Tanzim Hasan Sakib 30(34).

Hong Kong, China has taken inspiration for UAE's collapse in the last game and focused on avoiding a collapse first. They have taken minimal risks and aimed at accumulating runs first. Runs on board give the bowlers a chance and Nizakat Khan and Zeeshan Ali have aimed to build partnership. So far so good after powerplay. 

Not the best of starts for Hong Kong as they have lost two key wickets in the powerplay and have not scored much runs. Anshuman Rath and Babar Hayat are two of their best batters and losing them is a body blow. Zeeshan Ali and Nizakat Khan are aiming to consolidate the innings before going for the big shots. 

Out! Tanzim Hasan Sakib started with a good rhythm and looked threatening with his ball getting some nip. Although he was hit for a six on his last ball, he returned strong cleaning up Babar Hayat. Full and straight, swings away to evade Babar Hayat's charge, wrecking his stumps. Bangladesh are on top here as Hayat is a big wicket. Hayat b Tanzim Hasan Sakib 14(12).

Out! Taskin Ahmed strikes in his first over. On a fullish length outside off, makes Anshuman Rath feel the ball is closer to him than it actually was. Rath went for the drive and the ball took a faint nick off the bat before going to Litton Das' gloves. Litton opted for a DRS and UltraEdge shows three spikes. First blood for Bangladesh. Anshuman Rath c Litton Das b Taskin Ahmed 4(5). 

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Litton Das(w/c), Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman.
