Hosts Bangladesh have swept into the Super 10 stage of the World Twenty20 tournament on Thursday despite a two-run defeat by minnows Hong Kong in their last first-round match in Chittagong.
The defeat marks only the fourth occasion when an associate side has beaten a full Test-playing country in a World Twenty20.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Bangladesh fell to a below-par total of 108 all out in 16.3 overs before Hong Kong reached the target for the loss of eight wickets in 19.4 overs with the help of match-turning shots from Munir Dar and Haseeb Amjad.
The report mentioned that Shakib Al Hasan top-scored with 34 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium for Bangladesh, which won two of their three matches to qualify on a better net-run rate than Nepal for the next round starting from Friday.
There are two qualifying round matches in Sylhet on Friday, while archrivals Pakistan and India kick off the Super-10 stage in a match in Dhaka, the report added.
