India Women’s cricket schedule at Asian Games: Match date, squad, live streaming
The Indian women's cricket team advances to defend their Asian Games gold medal in cricket as they open their campaign in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. Led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, the squad is set to take on the hosts, Japan, in their quarter-final match at Kōrogi Sports Park in Nisshin on September 18, 2026. A victory over Japan would see India advance to the semi-final on September 20, where they will face off against Bangladesh, who qualified through seeding.
The route to the final on September 22 will likely pit India against either Pakistan, Sri Lanka, or Malaysia. India's squad includes notable players such as Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, and Deepti Sharma. Fresh off their Asia Cup title win in Dubai, the Women in Blue are expected to benefit from their match experience against their continental rivals.
India had previously secured their maiden gold medal in the Asian Games by defeating Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the semi-final and final, respectively, during the 2023 edition. India's Asian Games 2026 campaign will be live-streamed on SonyLIV and television broadcast on Sony Sports Network in India.
