SL vs HKG Fantasy Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – 8th Match, Asia Cup, 2025

Match Preview

After finishing as ten runners-up during the previous edition, Sri Lanka made a positive start to their latest campaign by defeating Bangladesh in a one-sided contest. As they face the weakest team in their group, Sri Lanka has a good chance to boost their NRR and strengthen their case for the playoffs.

Hong Kong will be disappointed with the way they have played so far in this tournament. While not many expected them to win, they would have hoped to put up a better fight. As they play their last match, Hong Kong will hope to end on a high note.

Injuries & Illnesses

There are no injuries reported by either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The batsmen have had a tough time at this venue, and we expect similar conditions here in Dubai. The surface is dry, and the ball loses pace after pitching, making it difficult for the batsmen to time their shots. Also, the rough surface and the cracks help spinners get some purchase and turn.

The weather will be warm and humid, and dew might be a factor in the second half.

SL vs HKG Fantasy Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera are two of the most experienced batsmen in the Sri Lankan team and are the top picks.

Batters

Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara scored a half-century in the previous game and are the obvious choices. We are also selecting Babar as he is among the best players on the Hong Kong side.

All Rounders

Wanindu Hasaranga is among the best spinners in the T20 format and can also play some big shots. We are also selecting Yasim Murtaza, as he has done a decent job with the bat and the ball. Kamindu Mendis is another quality all-rounder who can earn points throughout the match.

Bowlers

Since all three all-rounders are slower bowlers, we are selecting three seamers in this category. Ateeq Iqbal is the best bowler from Hong Kong in this series and makes it to our team. We are also selecting Matheesha Pathirana and Nuwan Thushara.

SL vs HKG Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Wanindu Hasaranga has an excellent record with the ball in the T20 format. He is also a dependable batsman lower down the order and is arguably the best all-rounder of this match.

Vice-Captain

We are selecting Pathum Nissanka as the vice-captain of our team. He is in fine form of late and is likely to continue batting well.
