2026 Women's T20 Asia Cup in UAE

Overview

The Asian Cricket Council confirmed on 6 August 2026 that the sixth Women’s T20 Asia Cup will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with every match scheduled at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium under floodlights. The tournament runs from 28 August to 13 September and features eight teams – India, Pakistan, Thailand, Hong Kong (China), Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia – divided into two groups of four as previously outlined. Group A (India, Pakistan, Thailand, Hong Kong) and Group B (Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, UAE, Indonesia) will each play a round‑robin, with the top two progressing to the semi‑finals on 10–11 September and the final on 13 September. The marquee India‑Pakistan group match is set for 5 September at 18:30 local time, attracting significant regional interest. The schedule leaves a narrow window for the finalists to travel to Nagoya for the women's cricket competition at the 2026 Asian Games (17–24 September).
