India wins 2026 Women's Asia Cup with dominant 72-run victory over Sri Lanka

India secured the 2026 Women's Asia Cup trophy by defeating Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the tournament final, extending their dominance in the regional championship.

Batting first, India posted a substantial total that proved too challenging for Sri Lanka's batting lineup. The Indian team's strong performance with both bat and ball throughout the match set the platform for victory, with their bowlers restricting Sri Lanka's batsmen and preventing them from mounting a successful chase.

Sri Lanka's batsmen struggled against India's bowling attack, falling short of the target by a significant margin. The 72-run defeat marked a comprehensive performance by the Indian side across all facets of the game.

The victory adds another continental title to India's growing collection of women's cricket honors and reinforces their position as the region's leading women's cricket team. Sri Lanka, despite their best efforts, could not overcome India's superior performance in the showpiece event.
