Team India Women will kick off their Women's Asia Cup 2022 campaign against Sri Lanka Women at Sylhet District Stadium in Sylhet on Saturday, October 1.
India Women is the most successful team in the Women's Asia Cup since its inception and has won the coveted title six times on the trot before losing the most recent one against Bangladesh Women in 2018.
Harmanpreet Kaur & Co. recently whitewashed the English side on England soil to register a historic ODI series win, and they will enter the continental tournament as clear favourites among all the seven teams.
Sri Lanka Women, on the other hand, have never won the Asia Cup title, but reached the finals in the first four editions of the tournament, only to lose against India on all occasions.
They had a dismal outing in the Commonwealth Games 2022 as they failed to win a single game and were knocked out of the competition in the first round itself. Heading into Asia Cup 2022, they will be eager to return to winning ways.
