Bangladesh were 55 for 3 in seven overs against Hong Kong in their last World Twenty20 qualifier on Thursday having lost opener Anamul Haque. In-form Anamul (26 off 17) was bowled after smashing three consecutive boundaries in the Nadeem Ahmed over, which concluded a 48-run third wicket stand between the opener and Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib (23) and skipper Mushfiqur Rahim (2) were out in the middle for the Tigers at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. Put in to bat first, Bangladesh made worst possible start losing two wickets in the first over to give Hong Kong a dream start. Birthday boy Tamim Iqbal (0) completely missed Tanwir Afzal’s line to lose his off-stump to a ball that nipped back. Sabbir Rahman (2) was trapped leg before a couple of deliveries later Bangladesh are without pacer Mashrafe Mortaza. Rubel Hossain replace him.
