Women’s Asia Cup, India eyes on 8th title
The two finalist teams of the tournament will be decided on Friday in the Women’s Cricket Asia Cup 2024 being held in Dambulla, Sri Lanka. The performance of the Indian team has been excellent so far. India made it to the semi-finals and is now just two steps away from its 8th title.
The first semi-final of this edition of the tournament will be played between India and Bangladesh. This match will start at 2 pm in Dambulla on Friday. While the second semi-final will be played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at 7 pm. The performance of the Indian team in the Women’s Asia Cup has been amazing. In the total eight editions played so far, India has become the champion seven times. At the same time, Bangladesh has won the Asia Cup once. However, in the current tournament, the Indian team looks much stronger than Bangladesh. But a total of 4 matches have been played between India and Bangladesh in the Women’s Asia Cup and the matter has been equal. In the final match of the year 2018, Bangladesh won the title by defeating India. That is, the Indian team will not make the mistake of considering Bangladesh as weak.
The second semi-final will be played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. This match will be a close contest between the two teams. Sri Lanka is also in great form in the current tournament, while Pakistan’s team includes many veteran players. In such a situation, if India defeats Bangladesh and Pakistan defeats Sri Lanka in the semi-finals, then the final of the Women’s Asia Cup can be held between India and Pakistan. But the host team looks stronger than Pakistan. Overall, both the semi-final matches are going to be very exciting.
India is a strong contender for the Women’s Asia Cup. However, like India, Sri Lanka has also remained undefeated in this tournament so far. This is the fifth edition of the Women’s Asia Cup in T20 format, in which India has won the trophy three times. The final match of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 will be played on Sunday at 7 pm.
