The Women's Asia Cup is nearing its end. This tournament is being played in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Both the semi-final matches will be played on Thursday. In the first match, the Indian team will face Thailand. At the same time, in the second match, Pakistan will face Sri Lanka. In such a situation, if the teams of India and Pakistan are successful in winning their respective matches, then both the teams can once again face-to-face in the title match to be held on October 15. Pakistan defeated India by 13 runs in the first encounter of this tournament played in a round-robin format. The Indian team would also like to avenge that defeat.

Talking about the performance of the Indian team in the Women's Asia Cup, the team has played six matches so far and has won five. India has defeated Sri Lanka, Malaysia, UAE, Bangladesh, and Thailand. India played the last match of the round-robin format against Thailand and won by nine wickets.

Regular captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who has been resting from the last two matches, may return to the team in this match. Smriti Mandhana was captaining the last two matches.

Smriti Mandhana has not been able to show anything special with the bat in this tournament so far. In such a situation, she would like to score runs against Thailand.
