India vs Sri Lanka Set for Women's Asia Cup 2026 Final Showdown
The Women's Asia Cup 2026 final is set: India Women will take on Sri Lanka Women at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 13, with both sides arriving unbeaten in their group stages before contrasting semi-final routes.
India have been the standout side of the tournament, winning all five of their matches so far, headlined by Smriti Mandhana's record-breaking 124 and Shafali Verma's blistering 64 in the semi-final win over Bangladesh. They will start firm favourites, having not dropped a single game across the competition.
Sri Lanka topped Group B unbeaten before needing a nervy 4-wicket chase to see off Pakistan's Fatima Sana in the semi-final, with Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari steering them home. Captain Chamari Athapaththu's side will look to their strength in depth and spin bowling to trouble an in-form Indian batting line-up.
The final promises to be a fitting climax — a clash between the tournament's two form teams, with the trophy and continental bragging rights on the line in Dubai.
