India advances to Women's T20 Asia Cup final

Overview

The 2026 Women’s T20 Asia Cup in Dubai has moved into the knockout stage, with India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka confirmed as the four semi-finalists.

In the first semi-final held on September 10 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, India defeated Bangladesh by 40 runs to secure a place in the final. Batting first on a slow pitch, India posted 149-6. Shafali Verma led the scoring with 64 runs off 40 balls, including seven boundaries and three sixes. Other contributors included Harmanpreet Kaur with 24, Richa Ghosh with 21, and Pratika Rawal with 20.

Bangladesh was restricted to 109-7 in their response. Deepti Sharma led the bowling effort with 3 wickets for 26 runs, while Nandani Sharma took two wickets. During the match, Shree Charani became the “fastest Indian bowler to reach 50 T20I wickets.” Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana attributed the loss to batting inconsistency.
