IND vs SL, Women's Asia Cup 2022 Final: Head to Head, Playing XI, Preview, Where to Watch on TV, Online, and Live Streaming Details
Pre-tournament favorites and last edition's runner-up India will take on Sri Lanka in the final with hopes of clinching their seventh continental title.
The Indian team led by Harmanpreet Kaur will be eyeing a seventh Asia Cup title when they lock horns with Sri Lanka in the final of the Women's Asia Cup T20 2022 on the 15th of October at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
The two finalists have had contrasting fortunes in the tournament as India, one of the pre-tournament favorites lost just one game on their run to the final. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka had to overcome Bangladesh and Pakistan in nail-biting encounters to seal their spot in the final.
India, who won the coveted title for an unfathomable six times in a row, saw their streak snapped unexpectedly at the hands of Bangladesh in 2018. Harmanpreet's side will take to the field to reassert their dominance in the competition, while Chamari Athapaththu will be hoping for a change of fortunes this time around as they have been humiliated by their opponents frequently in the competition's history.
Pitch Conditions
Sylhet Stadium has hosted all the matches of the ongoing competition on a surface that has favored the slower bowlers. While stroke-making has been a challenge for the batters, the team batting first has usually found themselves with the greater advantage. The team winning the toss would likely opt to bat first in the final in hopes of setting a daunting total for their opponents.
Playing Combinations for IND-W vs SL-W, Finals
India
The Women in Blue experimented a bit with their starting XI in the nascent stages of the tournament, but are unlikely to tweak their best eleven for the grand finale. The last edition's runners-up will be buoyed by Shafali Verma's return to form.
Predicted XI: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh (wk), Pooja Vastrakar, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Radha Yadav, Renuka Singh, Rajeshwari Gayakwad
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka were done and dusted in their previous encounter with Pakistan only for a miraculous comeback to see them win the game by a solitary run on the last ball of the semi-final clash. They will once again count on their bowlers, who've done admirably in the last few games.
Predicted XI: Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Madavi, Hasini Perera, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Malsha Shehani, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Sugandika Kumari, Inoka Ranaweera, Achini Kulasuriya
