Hong Kong—Sri Lanka having less than two hours to recover from their semi-final 2-1 win over Hong Kong crashed to a 3-0 loss to defending champions Bangladesh in the AHF Cup even though they played the game of their lives in the final at King’s Park on Sunday Nov 27.
Even Bangladesh coach Oliver Kurtz felt for his opponents and said they had produced a good game but should have protested to the tournament officials as they had to play two games in a day without enough time to recover whereas Bangladesh had a full day to rest.
