Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Women's Asian Games 2026 1st Semi-Final: Preview
Pakistan scraped through to the semi-finals after being pushed hard by Thailand in a rain-affected quarter-final. Set 92 from 11 overs under the revised conditions, they were in deep trouble at 47 for 4 after off-spinner Onnicha Kamchomphu triggered a middle-order collapse.
Fatima Sana then changed the course of the chase. The Pakistan captain struck 25 in a crucial over alongside Eyman Fatima, turning the momentum back in her side's favour.
Tuba Hassan and Umm-e-Hani held their nerve in the closing stages to complete the chase with two deliveries to spare, keeping Pakistan's bid for a third Asian Games gold medal on track.
Sri Lanka had a considerably smoother route into the last four, brushing aside Malaysia by 86 runs in their quarter-final.
Chamari Athapaththu set the tone with an attacking 63 from 37 balls, before Kavisha Dilhari's unbeaten 44 off 27 lifted Sri Lanka to 160 for 4.
The same pair then played key roles with the ball as Sri Lanka kept Malaysia to 74 for 7. Their control with both bat and ball reflected the depth available to Athapaththu's side and gave them a strong platform heading into the semi-final.
