The Indian women's team is all set to take on their arch-rivals, Pakistan, in their opening clash of the Women's Asia Cup 2024. The Rangiri International Stadium in Dambulla will be the host of this all-important clash. 

With the T20 World Cup slated to take place later this year, the Asia Cup will be seen as a preparatory ground for both teams. India women are coming into this tournament on the back of a good run in the international format across all formats. 

Harmanpreet Kaur will be looking to lead her team to a record seventh Asia Cup title with both her captaincy and batting. Kaur's performance will be crucial for India in the Asia Cup and in the upcoming world event. 

Before the Indian girls begin their campaign in the Asia Cup, here is a look at Harman's record in Asia Cups.

Harmanpreet Kaur generally bats at number four for India. It is a crucial position, and mostly, the player playing in this number sets the pace of the team's innings. 

Thus, we can say that the Indian skipper will be pivotal in deciding India's fate in the tournament, and as a result, her previous numbers in Sri Lanka become important.
