India Vs Bangladesh, Live Streaming, Women’s Asia Cup 2026: Preview, When And, Where To Watch

Defending WODI World Cup champions and 2024 Women’s Asia Cup runners-up, India take on Bangladesh in the first semifinal of the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup in Dubai on Thursday.

India are the most successful team in Women’s Asia Cup history and head into the contest as overwhelming favourites. The seven-time champions have made a strong start to their latest campaign, topping Group A with three wins from three matches. They began with a 94-run victory over Thailand before producing an emphatic 137-run win against Hong Kong.

India then continued their dominant run against Pakistan, bowling them out for just 55 before chasing down the target in 8.4 overs to register a seven-wicket win.

Smriti Mandhana has been one of India's standout performers in the tournament. She has scored 152 runs in three innings at an average of 50.67, including a sensational 124 off 64 balls against Hong Kong. The knock also saw Mandhana become the leading run-scorer in women's international cricket, surpassing Mithali Raj's tally of 10,868 runs.

India's bowling attack has been equally impressive. Deepti Sharma has taken eight wickets in the tournament, while Sree Charani has seven. Both played key roles in India's dominant performances during the group stage.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, enter the semifinal as underdogs but earned their place in the last four after finishing second in Group B. They began their campaign with a 71-run victory over Indonesia but suffered a four-wicket defeat against defending champions Sri Lanka. They bounced back in their final group game, beating the United Arab Emirates by 34 runs to secure qualification.

Bangladesh's victory over UAE was far from straightforward. After slipping to 55/6, they recovered to post 103/7 before their bowlers restricted UAE to 69/9. Rabeya Khan was among the key contributors with three wickets.

India have also dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning their last five matches against Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh can draw confidence from their famous victory over India in the 2018 Women’s Asia Cup final, when they secured their only continental title.

The challenge for Bangladesh will be to find a way past an Indian side that has looked formidable throughout the ongoing tournament. India’s top order, led by Mandhana and Shafali Verma, has been particularly productive, while their bowling attack has consistently put opposition batters under pressure.

With India chasing an eighth Asia Cup title and Bangladesh eyeing another upset on the big stage, the semifinal promises an intriguing clash between the tournament favourites and a determined underdog.
