Women’s Asia Cup 2024, SL-W vs IND-W Final Match Report, July 28, 2024

Harmanpreet’s decision hinged on the fact that the strip that both the semi-finals were played on was used for the final as well. The defending champions remained unchanged from the side that beat Bangladesh in the semi-final. This meant Uma Chetry, who replaced D Hemalatha at No.3, retained her spot.

Both sides have been unbeaten so far in the tournament. India have won the T20 Asia Cup three out of four times and the ODI edition four times. Sri Lanka are yet to win one.
