New Delhi: Women in blue eye their seventh Asia Cup title while Sri Lanka has shown character in the journey to the finals. The Women’s Asia Cup finals will be an exciting battle between India’s bowling and Sri Lanka’s batting. Preparing for the T20 World Cup, this title will mean a big confidence boost. Sri Lanka picked the cup in Men’s Asia Cup and Chamari Athapaththu and Co will look to do it against Harmanpreet Kaur’s side.
India and Sri Lanka played a game during the ongoing tournament in which Jemimah Rodrigues’ 76 off 53 led India to a huge victory. India is the favourite to win the cup while Sri Lanka’s 1-run victory in the semis shows what the team is capable of.
Jemimah and leading wicket-taker Deepti Sharma from India and Harshitha Samarawickrama and Inoka Ranaweera from Sri Lanka will be the players to look out for.
When and where to watch?
The game will begin at 1:00 pm IST in Sylhet. The match will be telecasted on Star Sports Network while the OTT audience can watch the high-thrill game on Disney+Hotstar.
India will be eyeing the title again as they lost to Bangladesh in the finals last time. Apart from the 2018 tournament, India has won all six Women’s Asia Cups, while Sri Lanka has reached the finals three times and will be playing the fourth final against India. It would be an interesting battle to look out for as India and Sri Lanka were the teams to begin with the Women’s Asia Cup in the first place and the tournament has gone a full circle.
