Women's Asia Cup: Sri Lanka edge past Pakistan to secure final berth

Sri Lanka edged past Pakistan to secure a 1-run win in the second semi-final of the Women's Asia Cup 2022 to set up the final clash against India at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Sri Lanka women have reached the final of the women's Asia Cup 2022 after 14 years.

On the other hand, India rode on a quickfire 42 and a 3-wicket haul from Deepti Sharma to outclass Thailand and reach the Women's Asia Cup final for the



8th successive time in the history of the tournament.

"Lots of pressure but we stuck by the bowlers. I always thought that my bowlers could do a good job. We changed the batting order to change a few things. After 14 years, we are in the Asia Cup final, that's good for us. First six overs they batted well, openers did well but we stuck to our plans," Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
