Women's Asia Cup 2022
Host Bangladesh is the defending champion. In 2018, it defeated India in a tight final to clinch the title.
After two India vs Pakistan matches in the men's event, fans can look forward to an India vs Pakistan clash in the women's tournament as well. Harmanpreet Kaur's side will face Bismah Maroof-led Pakistan women cricket team next Friday (October 7) in what is expected to be another thrilling encounter. This will be the first time the two arch-rivals will meet since India defeated Pakistan at the Commonwealth Games 2022.
Who are the participants?
A total of seven teams - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates - will be competing for the title. The teams will play each other in a round-robin format, where each will play six games. The top four teams will reach the semifinals.
This is a new format. The last two editions featured six teams each, and the top two teams in the league stage directly played the final.
