Women’s Asia Cup 2026: The Women’s Asia Cup 2026 has reached its business end as the semi-finals of the T20 tournament loom large. India have had the convincing path to the semi-finals, winning all their group games handsomely and didn’t give the opposition any opportunity. Pakistan have joined them from Group A, while Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are the other two teams in the Top 4.
The Women in Blue, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, seem firm favourite to clinch the title. India beat associate nations Thailand and Hong Kong China by 94 and 137 runs, respectively. They followed it up by routing Pakistan for their lowest T20I score in 55 and chased it down with seven wickets to spare. Pakistan, meanwhile, suffered their only loss to India in the group stage but even with victories against Hong Kong China and Thailand, the Women in Green have big questions to answer in the knockout game.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, are coming into the semi-finals on the back of winning all their three matches. After two convincing performances that turned to wins over United Arab Emirates and Indonesia, the Island Nation suffered a hiccup against Bangladesh. Chasing a paltry 115 against Bangladesh, they lost six wickets before eventually getting over the line with four deliveries to spare. Bangladesh have had a promising campaign, with their only defeat coming to Sri Lanka.
