Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma provided India with a sensational start, stitching together a 129-run opening partnership and completely dominating the Sri Lankan bowlers. None of Sri Lanka\u2019s bowlers managed to make a significant impact as India maintained control throughout their innings.<\/p>\n<p>Chasing 184, Sri Lanka struggled to build momentum and were eventually bowled out for 111 runs. Chamari Athapaththu top-scored for Sri Lanka with 36 runs, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to withstand India\u2019s bowling attack.<\/p>\n<p>For India, Shree Charani was the standout bowler, claiming four wickets, while Deepti Sharma chipped in with three wickets to help seal a comprehensive 72-run victory and another Asia Cup title for the Women in Blue.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>Top batting performance \u2014 Shafali Verma<\/h3>\n<p>Shafali Verma was the top batting performer for India, scoring 68 runs off 39 balls, including nine fours and two sixes, at a blistering strike rate of 174.36.

She dismissed Harshitha Samarawickrama, Nilakshika Silva, Kavisha Dilhari and Sugandika Kumari to dismantle Sri Lanka\u2019s batting lineup and play a crucial role in India\u2019s comprehensive 72-run victory.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>Records broken and milestone achieved<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Most T20I wickets for India Women in a calendar year: 39 \u2013 Shree Charani in 2026 (first)<\/li>\n<li>Most sixes per ball in the Women\u2019s T20 Asia Cup 2026: India \u2013 one six every 16.62 balls (32 sixes), the most in the tournament<\/li>\n<li>Most runs for India Women in a calendar year in T20Is: 675 \u2013 Shafali Verma in 2026 (second-most)<\/li>\n<li>Highest first-innings score in a Women\u2019s T20I tournament final: 183\/5 \u2013 India Women vs Sri Lanka Women, Dubai, Asia Cup 2026 (second-highest)<\/li>\n<li>180-plus totals in the Women\u2019s T20 Asia Cup: 183\/5 \u2013 India Women vs Sri Lanka Women, Dubai, 2026 (fifth-highest)<\/li>\n<li>Highest partnership in the Women\u2019s T20I Asia Cup: 129 \u2013 Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma for India Women vs Sri Lanka Women, Dubai, 2026 (first)<\/li>\n<li>Most 100-plus partnerships in Women\u2019s T20Is: 6 \u2013 Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma (joint-most)<\/li>\n<li>Most 50-plus scores in a single Women\u2019s T20 Asia Cup edition: Shafali Verma has now registered three 50-plus scores in the 2026 tournament (joint-most)<\/li>\n<li>Fastest fifty in the Women\u2019s T20 Asia Cup: 24 balls \u2013 Shafali Verma vs Sri Lanka Women, Dubai, 2026 (first)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"font-semi mb-0\"><span class=\"d-none d-md-inline\">Get every cricket updates!<!-- --> <\/span>Follow Us<!-- -->:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crictracker.com\/cricket-news\/womens-asia-cup-2026-india-women-vs-sri-lanka-women-highlights-review-final-4955\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India Women clinched the Women\u2019s Asia Cup 2026 for a historic seventh time after defeating Sri Lanka Women by 72 runs in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 13.
