India vs Sri Lanka: Preview And Road To The Women's Asian Games 2026 Final
Team India heads into the final after a dominant 114-run win over Bangladesh in the semi-final. India posted 195 for 4 before dismissing Bangladesh for just 81.
Shafali Verma was the standout performer, scoring an unbeaten 100 from 49 balls, including nine sixes, to become the first woman to score a century in Asian Games cricket.
Smriti Mandhana added another milestone to India's impressive campaign in the semi-final, overtaking Suzie Bates as the highest run-scorer in women's T20 internationals.
Her 19-ball 37 gave India an aggressive start, with Harmanpreet Kaur following up with a steady 40 to keep the innings moving. The bowlers then completed the job with little resistance from Bangladesh. Deepti Sharma finished with 3 for 7, Shree Charani took 2 for 7, and Nandani Sharma collected 3 for 25 to keep the chase firmly under India's control.
Sri Lanka earned their place in the final with an impressive eight-wicket victory over Pakistan in the opening semi-final. Set 178 to win, they equalled their highest successful chase in women's T20I cricket by reaching 178 for 2 with 13 balls remaining.
Captain Chamari Athapaththu was the architect of the victory, smashing an unbeaten 83 from 50 deliveries, while Hasini Perera added a rapid 42. Athapaththu has already amassed 146 runs in two matches at the tournament, making her one of the key players India will need to contain.
India come into the final having beaten Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the recent Asia Cup final in Dubai, but Chamari Athapaththu's team will have the chance to respond on a different stage in Japan.
