India will lock horns against Sri Lanka in what will be the repeat of the 2024 Asia Cup final where the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side had been defeated by the Chamari Athapaththu captained side. This time around, India will look to turn the tables and win their 8th Asia Cup title. It’ll be easier said than done though as India’s batters, except Shafali Verma and on occasions Smriti Mandhana, have flattered to deceive.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh haven’t been able to convert their starts into big innings. The most disappointing performance with the bat, however, has come from Pratika Rawal at No.3 who hasn’t looked comfortable in the middle and failed to replace the injured Jemimah Rodrigues.

The bowlers though have looked sharp with all-rounder Deepti Sharma leading the lines with Shree Charani, Kranti Gaud, Nandani Sharma and Prema Rawat all looking in top form. They have skittled out Thailand, Pakistan and Hong Kong, China for just 65, 55 and 56 respectively to hand India huge wins.

Women’s Asia Cup: India face familiar foes Sri Lanka, their left-arm gauntlet

Over the years, the Women’s Asia Cup has changed formats, expanded its field and travelled across the continent. Yet, one fixture has been a recurring feature when the title has been on the line. India and Sri Lanka contested the title in each of the first four editions before going 14 years without meeting in a summit clash. Since 2022, however, they have once again become familiar opponents in the title clash. Sunday in Dubai will mark their third successive final at the continental event. India swept aside Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the 2022 final in Sylhet, but Sri Lanka stunned India in Dambulla two years later, winning by the same margin to claim their maiden title.
