With an eight-wicket victory over a self-destructing Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup final on Saturday, India continued to dominate the tournament, winning their seventh title in eight attempts. The competition final was Sri Lanka's first in 14 years, and they chose to bat on a sluggish, twisting field, but they failed miserably. They could only muster 65 for 9, which India won by eight wickets in nine overs. Smriti Mandhana was unbeaten after hitting a brilliant 51 off 25 balls. Smriti continued her assault despite losing Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues to wickets as she and captain Harmanpreet Kaur easily won the match.
