India beat Sri Lanka by 72 runs in Women's Asia Cup 2026 final

India clinched the Women's Asia Cup 2026 title after registering a dominant 72-run victory over Sri Lanka in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Having won the toss and elected to bat first, India posted a formidable total of 183 for 5 in their allotted 20 overs, driven by aggressive top-order batting and steady partnerships throughout the innings.

In response, the Sri Lankan batting lineup struggled to build momentum against disciplined Indian bowling and sharp fielding. Regular wickets in the middle overs disrupted Sri Lanka's chase, leaving them far behind the required run rate as India maintained relentless pressure with both pace and spin.

The victory marks another major continental triumph for India, while Sri Lanka concluded an impressive tournament run as runners-up after displaying resilient performances throughout the competition.
