Bangladesh captain Litton Das on Thursday said the team had long lacked a quality leg-spinner but Rishad Hossain has now filled that void. Bangladesh began their Asia Cup campaign in style, cruising to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over minnows Hong Kong.

Pacers Tanzim Hasan Sakib (2/21) and Taskin Ahmed (2/38) and leg spinner Hossain (2/31) shared six wickets between them to restrict Honk Kong to a sub par total.
