Sri Lanka will take on Pakistan in the second semi-final of the Women’s Asia Cup 2026 on Friday, September 11 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. The Chamari Athapaththu-led side was ruthless in the group stages, having won all of their fixtures.
They finished on top of Group B with three wins from as many matches, with six points to their name. On the other hand, Pakistan had a minor hiccup in their campaign, losing to arch-rivals India in their second fixture.
However, they sealed their spot in the semi-final, following a comprehensive victory against Hong Kong China by 72 runs. Sri Lanka are fresh from a series victory over Pakistan in the lead-up to Asia Cup, while Pakistan narrowly hold the upper hand over Sri Lanka in the head-to-head record, winning 12 out of 24 matches.
Hence, the upcoming fixture will be an evenly matched contest between two competitive sides, who will be giving their all to seal a spot in the final.
