T20 Asia Cup: India’s bid for an eighth Women’s T20 Asia Cup title will face a stern examination from Sri Lanka when the two unbeaten sides meet in Sunday’s final at the Dubai International Stadium.
India's standout performers throughout the tournament have been Shafali Verma and Deepti Sharma. Shafali has scored 168 runs and tops the rankings, with two fifties demonstrating her consistent performance at the top of the order. Her resilience in difficult batting conditions has been especially important for India.
Mandhana’s 154 runs include a century, but her two low scores mean India will be keen for greater consistency from their batting group in the final. The middle order has produced starts without regularly converting them into major scores, while the team’s boundary-hitting has also lacked consistency.
