Women's Asia Cup 2026 Semifinal Schedule
India Women vs Bangladesh Women - September 10
Sri Lanka Women vs Pakistan Women - September 11
India will face Bangladesh in the first semifinal on Thursday, September 10. Harmanpreet Kaur's side enters the knockout stage as one of the tournament's strongest teams and has remained unbeaten. India have already produced commanding performances against Thailand, Hong Kong and Pakistan, with Smriti Mandhana's record-breaking 124 against Hong Kong underlining their batting strength.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, earned their semifinal berth after beating the UAE by 34 runs in their final group-stage match. They will need a disciplined bowling performance and a strong start with the bat to challenge India's all-round quality.
The second semifinal promises another intriguing contest, with defending champions Sri Lanka taking on Pakistan on Friday, September 11. Sri Lanka have also remained unbeaten, making them a formidable challenge for Pakistan.
Pakistan, however, arrive with momentum after securing their semifinal spot with a 72-run victory over Hong Kong. Their task now is significantly tougher against a Sri Lankan side that has consistently delivered throughout the tournament.
The final will be played on September 13. If India and Pakistan both win their semifinals, fans could be treated to another India-Pakistan clash for the continental title.
