Chittagong: Hong Kong recorded a stunning two-wicket win over Bangladesh in a qualifier but could not prevent the hosts from booking a Super 10 spot in the World Twenty20 here on Thursday.
Chasing a small target of 109, Hong Kong struggled to 50/5 in the 10th over but a fine rear-guard effort from lower-order batsmen, led by Munir Dar (36), took them to a shock win with two balls to spare.
Despite defeat, Bangladesh snuck into the Super 10 by topping Group A on net run rate. They finished on four points – the same as Nepal. Bangladesh would have been knocked out of the tournament had Hong Kong won in 13.1 overs.
