Sri Lanka Storms into Super 4s, Hong Kong Bow Out

Sri Lanka secured a thrilling victory over Hong Kong on Monday, September 15, 2025, storming into the Super 4 stage of the tournament. This win consolidates their top position in Group B, boasting two wins from two matches.

Hong Kong, on the other hand, faced elimination after suffering their third consecutive defeat. Batting first, they managed a respectable 149/4 in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to half-centuries from Nizakat Khan and Anshuman Rath.

Sri Lanka’s chase started promisingly, with Nissanka continuing his impressive form. However, a late collapse saw them stumble from a comfortable 119/2 to a precarious 127/6 in 17.1 overs.

The Lankan Lions eventually navigated the crisis, with Wanindu Hasaranga and Dasun Shanaka steering the team to victory with seven balls to spare.

This victory has significant implications for Sri Lanka’s tournament prospects, setting the stage for a potential clash with the tournament favourites in the Super 4s. Their performance highlights the unpredictable nature of the competition and the importance of maintaining composure under pressure.
