The Women's Asia Cup 2026 is underway in Dubai, with eight teams competing for the continental T20 title. The tournament began on August 28 and the group stage will run until September 8, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semi-finals.
In the mouth-watering clash between India and Pakistan, the Indian women's on course to reign supreme in tremendous passion as they mauled a hapless Pakistan side.
Pakistan Women endured a dramatic batting collapse against India in the Women's Asia Cup 2026, being bowled out for just 55 runs, their lowest-ever total in Women's T20I cricket. After reaching 27/0, Pakistan lost wickets in a rapid succession and never recovered.
Shafali Verma started the collapse by dismissing Muneeba Ali for 13,
before Sree Charani struck twice in quick succession. Charani finished with 3/7, while Prema Rawat also claimed three wickets for nine runs. Deepti Sharma added two wickets for just five runs as India's spin attack completely dominated. Shawaal Zulfiqar's 14 was Pakistan's highest score, while most of the batting line-up failed to reach double figures.
