Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will face off against each other in a group stage match at Asia Cup 2022. The match will be played at Dubai International Stadium on September 1 and is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST. Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka, who are the official hosts of the continental cricket tournament, will head into this game on the back of a heavy defeat against high-flying Afghanistan who are the first team to qualify for the super 4 round, having won two out of two matches. On the other hand, Shakib Al Hasan will lead the Bangladesh side in their second game of the Asia Cup 2022 who also fell to a defeat against the Afghans. With the Islanders and the Tigers both looking to get back to winning ways, this match is expected to be a cracker. India vs Hong Kong Asia Cup 2022 Live Streaming Online on Disney+ Hotstar and Now TV: Get Free Telecast Details of IND vs HK With Cricket Match Timing in IST

In this fixture, Bangladesh would go with the same playing XI that played against Afghanistan. However, Mehidy Hasan Miraz could get a chance to feature in the starting XI. All the eyes once again will be on Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladeshi skipper who has been handed the burden of captaincy just before Asia Cup started this year. After failing to hit big against AFG, he will be hungrier for both runs and wickets. For Sri Lanka, they would bank on skipper Dhanuka and Wanindu Hasaranga.
