Updated At:
In the 8th fixture of the Asia Cup 2025, Sri Lanka will meet Hong Kong on Monday at the Dubai International Stadium. It is a double header day where UAE vs OMA will be the 1st match of the day. SL vs HKG in the T20i format has never taken place, and the Asia Cup 2025 encounter on Monday is going to be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
Sri Lanka has started their campaign with a win against their arch-rivals, Bangladesh. It was a comfortable win for the team, where their batters played an important role while chasing the score. You can bet on cricket online with some positive odds on Sri Lanka.
Hong Kong has been part of 2 fixtures in the tournament, and unfortunately, they have not won a single game. It has been a failure on the part of the players, and now the team has bleak chances to reach the next round in the tournament.
In this article, we bring you a collection of special bets for the SL vs HKG 8th T20i Match from the best betting apps in India.
Player Props
Babar Hayat Total Runs Over 14.5 in 1st Innings @ 1.85 (Jackbit)
Hong Kong has not been a consistent performer when it comes to its batting unit. Babar Hayat is their leading scorer in the tournament with 53 runs in 2 matches at an average of 26.50 and a strike rate of 96.36. Overall in 2025, Babar Hayat has managed to collect 359 runs in 18 matches at an average of 23.93 and a strike rate of 119.66.
We expect Babar Hayat to score above 14.5 runs in the match.

Sri Lanka and Hong Kong have never come face-to-face in international cricket. They have no experience of playing against each other, and that makes the upcoming fixture more exciting. Sri Lanka definitely carries the advantage as their batters have more experience playing against more advanced teams.
In the previous fixture, Sri Lanka managed to hit 11 boundaries and 4 maximums. In the last 3 fixtures, Sri Lanka has hit an average of 12.33 boundaries and 3 sixes. Hong Kong, on the other hand, has managed to hit an average of 5.3 boundaries and 3.3 sixes in the last 3 matches.
For Sri Lanka, Pathum Nissanka is the leading run-scorer in 2025. At an average of 35, he has smashed 27 boundaries and 9 sixes this year. Kusal Perera has an average of 30.66, and he has smashed 20 boundaries and 7 sixes.
Sri Lanka has a much more advanced batting lineup, and that can easily dominate the Hong Kong bowlers. We expect them to hit more fours and sixes in the Monday fixture.

Top Bowler Sri Lanka
In the previous fixture, Wanindu Hasaranga was the leading wicket-taker for the team. He scalped 2 wickets in 4 overs at an economy of 6.25. Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera managed to scalp a single wicket each.
I will pick a safe bet with Wanindu Hasaranga, but Nuwan Thushara will be the risky bet.
