India secured a spot in the sixth final of the Women’s T20 Asia Cup, defeating Bangladesh by 40 runs in a semi-final held in Dubai. Shafali Verma's impressive 64-run knock off 40 balls proved crucial as she took advantage of several run-outs dropped by the Bangladesh side. Despite struggling batters like Pratika Rawal and Harmanpreet Kaur, India posted a formidable 149 for 6.
Bangladesh's Dilara Akter and Juairiya Ferdous mounted a positive response, but the introduction of spin proved too much for them. The Indian team capitalized on four dropped catches, while Bangladesh's best effort came from Marufa Akter's early bowling, including an effective leg-cutter. Shorna Akter and Fahima Khatun contributed to the downfall of key Indian batsmen.
