The highly anticipated Women’s Asia Cup 2024 final will take place on Sunday, July 28 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla, Sri Lanka.
Defending champions India Women will face off against the host nation Sri Lanka Women in what promises to be an exciting clash between two of the tournament’s unbeaten teams.
India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, have been dominant throughout the competition, winning all four of their matches convincingly. Their openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma have been in excellent form, scoring over 100 runs each at impressive strike rates above 140.
The Indian bowlers have also been outstanding, with Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh leading the wicket-taking charts with 9 and 7 scalps respectively.
Sri Lanka, captained by Chamari Athapaththu, have also impressed in their home conditions. Athapaththu herself has been the standout performer, amassing 243 runs in four innings including a century.
However, the hosts will need more contributions from their other batters and bowlers if they are to upset the mighty Indians.
In head-to-head T20I matches, India have a clear advantage, winning 19 of the 24 encounters between the two sides. But finals are often decided by which team handles the pressure better on the day.
