The Women's T20 Asia Cup 2024 is reaching its climax, with the semi-finals set to take place in Dambulla on Friday. India, the in-form team, will face Bangladesh, while hosts Sri Lanka will take on Pakistan.
India vs Bangladesh
India, the tournament favorites, have won 10 of their 14 T20Is this year. They will rely on their spin-bowling allrounder Deepti Sharma, who has taken eight wickets in three matches. Bangladesh, on the other hand, have struggled with their batting but have found some form in the Asia Cup. Opener Murshida Khatun will be crucial for their chances.
Sri Lanka vs Pakistan
Sri Lanka, the hosts, have won 12 of their 15 T20Is this year. They have a strong all-round team and will be confident of winning their maiden Asia Cup title. Pakistan, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency in 2024. However, they will take confidence from their recent 10-wicket victory against UAE. Opener Gull Feroza has been in good form and will be a key player for them.
