Afghanistan's match against Hong Kong kicks off the Asia Cup 2025 today, September 9. Afghanistan has a fantastic chance to begin the campaign with a victory and would be delighted to play Hong Kong in the opening match. The team recently participated in a tri-series involving UAE and Pakistan. The Rashid Khan-led team advanced to the final before losing to Pakistan.
However, in the league stage, the team did defeat Pakistan. Afghanistan will be particularly concerned by the form of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who endured a rough week in the recently concluded tri-series
Hong Kong sealed their place in the Asia Cup via the ACC Men’s Premier Cup 2024. The associate side is making its third appearance in the tournament. They are not burdened by expectations but will probably have a very difficult time pulling off an upset against Afghanistan.
