A Fast Rematch

This deserves a mention on its own. India and Sri Lanka met in the Women’s Asia Cup final barely a week before this match, and India won convincingly. Since then both sides have gone straight into the Asian Games and reached this final without dropping a match, Sri Lanka beating Pakistan and Malaysia along the way, and India beating Japan and Bangladesh. The two best teams in Asian women’s cricket right now are meeting for the second time in a matter of days.

Recent Form

Sri Lanka Women have won four of their last five. They beat Pakistan in the semi final, chasing 177 to reach 178/2 in 17.5 overs, and beat Malaysia comfortably in the quarter final, restricting them to 74. Their only defeat in that stretch was the Asia Cup final loss to India.

India Women have won five in a row. They beat Bangladesh in the semi final, posting 195/4 and bowling Bangladesh out for 81, and beat Japan in the quarter final, chasing 57 in just 5 overs. This continues an unbeaten run that also included winning the Asia Cup itself.

SL-W vs IND-W Head to Head Record

India Women lead the head to head 9-1 over the last 10 meetings. They have now won five matches in a row against Sri Lanka, including the Asia Cup final just days ago and a full bilateral series sweep in 2025.

SL-W vs IND-W Squads

Sri Lanka Women: Chamari Athapaththu captains the side, the standout individual performer in Asian women’s cricket this year, having taken 7 for 5 with a hat-trick against Indonesia earlier in the Asia Cup. Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari add further batting depth.

Key Player Battles

Chamari Athapaththu vs India’s top order: Athapaththu remains capable of deciding a match on her own with either bat or ball, and stopping her early gives India the clearest path to a repeat win.

Harmanpreet Kaur vs Sri Lanka’s bowling attack: Harmanpreet has led India to five straight wins, including the Asia Cup title, and her form at the top continues to set the tone for this side.

Deepti Sharma vs Sri Lanka’s middle order: Deepti’s control through the middle overs was central to restricting Sri Lanka to 111 in the Asia Cup final, and a repeat performance would again be difficult for Sri Lanka to overcome.

SL-W vs IND-W Fantasy Team

Wicketkeeper: Richa Ghosh

Batters: Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur (VC), Harshitha Madavi Samarawickrama, Shafali Verma

All-Rounders: Chamari Athapaththu (C), Deepti Sharma, Kavisha Dilhari, Nandini Sharma

Bowlers: Sugandika Kumari, Shree Charani

Athapaththu gets the captaincy on the back of her outstanding recent individual form, even though her side has lost the last five meetings against India. Harmanpreet is vice captain as India’s captain and a batter who can accelerate an innings quickly, leading a side that has not lost since the World Cup.

Match Prediction

India Women should win this again. They have beaten Sri Lanka five times in a row, including the Asia Cup final just days ago, and their squad carries slightly greater depth across both batting and bowling.

Sri Lanka Women have Chamari Athapaththu playing some of the best cricket of her career, and their run to this final, including wins over Pakistan and Malaysia, shows real quality throughout the side. A repeat of their Asia Cup final performance, where they were bowled out for 111, is the one thing they need to avoid.

India Women are the clear favourites to win back to back finals against this exact opponent, though Athapaththu’s individual brilliance means Sri Lanka can never be ruled out.
