Sri Lanka vs Hong Kong Live Cricket Score, T20 Asia Cup 2025 (Sri Lanka National Cricket Team vs Hong Kong National Cricket Team): Hello, and a very warm welcome to News18 CricketNext’s live ball-by-ball coverage of Match 8 in the 2025 Asia Cup, with Group B participants Sri Lanka and Hong Kong going head-to-head at the Dubai International Stadium.
Sri Lanka have been impressive throughout 2025 and have slowly built momentum. They were ruthless in their opening encounter against Bangladesh, beating them by six wickets. Another win here would go a long way to give them a head start ahead of Afghanistan and extend their hand towards the Super-Four stage.
Hong Kong, on the other end, are playing their last match of the 2025 Asia Cup. They have been beaten by Afghanistan and Bangladesh already and have only a slender chance of qualifying to the next stage — that should give them enough hope to make a final push towards history with this young team.
Toss: Sri Lanka have won the toss and have opted to field first.
