IND-W vs SL-W Final Results

7:11 PM IST From Asia Cup to Asian Games - And that brings our coverage of the Women's Asia Cup to a rather unusual close. The celebrations may not have quite followed the expected script, but the cricket has certainly given us plenty to remember from this tournament. The action, however, doesn't stop here. Both India Women and Sri Lanka Women now turn their attention to the Asian Games 2026, entering directly at the quarter-final stage. Sri Lanka take on Malaysia on Thursday, September 17, at 12 am GMT (5.30 am IST), before India face Japan later that day at 5 am GMT (10.30 am IST). Make sure to join us early for all the build-up to both games. Until next time, cheers and goodbye!

7:07 PM IST There is a familiar sight at the end of the presentation ceremony, reminiscent of what unfolded after the Men's Asia Cup final in 2025, when the Indian team did not collect the trophy from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi. This time too, the Indian Women's team are nowhere to be seen as the trophy presentation concluded, with Farveez Maharoof eventually calling time on the ceremony. No individual awards are announced either, bringing an unusual end to the celebrations on stage.

6:54 PM IST The captain of Sri Lanka Women - Chamari Athapaththu now collects the runners-up cheque from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi before making her way over for the post-match interview. She says that at the end of the day, they did not play their best cricket, especially with the ball, and need to learn from these mistakes, and we will certainly bounce back. Chamari adds that in this game the side struggled, but having played the final means they were good throughout, so this loss doesn't change much. She mentions that many players took their game forward and made valuable contributions throughout the tournament. Harshitha Samarawickrama, Chamudi Praboda and Nilakshika Silva, in particular, stood out with their performances.

6:43 PM IST It's time for the Sri Lanka Women players and coaching staff to make their way onto the stage and collect their runners-up medals, led by skipper Chamari Athapaththu. A moment of recognition for a team that fought hard throughout the tournament before finishing second-best on the night.

6:41 PM IST While we wait for the presentation ceremony to begin, the entire India Women squad gathers in a huddle, with BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia applauding the players alongside BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla. The duo also present Nandani Sharma with a medal in recognition of her excellent fielding effort in the final, adding another special moment to the celebrations.

6:40 PM IST Chamari Athapaththu signs the match ball before special mementos are presented to the match officials in recognition of their contribution to the final, marking another warm moment as the presentation ceremony gets underway.
