Like the men's cricket team, the India Women's National Cricket Team claims the Asia Cup title. In both men's and women's cricket categories, India is officially now the best among all cricket-playing nations on the continent.
At the Dubai International Stadium, India women's national cricket team claims the 2026 Women's Asia Cup title by defeating the Sri Lanka Women's National Cricket Team. Sri Lanka tried their level best, but the bowlers of the Indian cricket team possessed enough quality to protect their total.
After the match, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur praises his girls for their all-round performance from the beginning to the end of the tournament. India wins the title as the undefeated team in the competition.
With the help of both of the openers, Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, the Women in Blue got a flying start. Both of the batters were firing on all cylinders against the opposing team's bowlers from the beginning of the innings. Mandhana and Verma crafted a 129-run partnership for the opening partnership for the team in 12.5 overs.
While Smriti Mandhana departed after scoring 59 runs off 39 balls, Shafali Verma returned with 68 runs from 39 deliveries. India could have easily edged past the 200-run mark, but they fell short as the middle-order batters could not do anything significant in the remaining seven overs. However, the total of 183 proved enough to defeat Sri Lanka in the title decider match.
Shree Charani and Deepti Sharma shine again with the ball
Kranti Gaud gifted India an early breakthrough in the very first over of the second innings, and Sri Lanka already went on the back foot. Their batters tried well to match the asking rate, but the Indian bowlers did not allow the opposing batters to score runs in a swift way. As Sri Lanka kept losing wickets in crucial stages of the match, in the end, they could not find or sustain a streamlined momentum until the end of the run chase.
Leading India women's team spinners, Shree Charani and Deepti Sharma spread their spin magic in the final match as well. Throughout the tournament, both of the spinners maintained their form. Tonight, Shree Charani claimed 4 wickets in 4 overs, including one maiden, and an economy rate of 5.00.
The departure of the Lankan spinner Chamari Athapaththu was one of the turning points of the match. Chamari was playing an anchor role for the team when Deepti Sharma struck. As soon as Chamari Athapaththu went for 36 off32, the Indian cricket team started to smell the silverware. After that, there was no stopping Harmanpreet Kaur from grabbing the prestigious trophy.
