India and Sri Lanka will be up against each other in the final of the Women's Asia Cup 2022 to be played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet on Saturday (October 15). India are coming into this contest with an easy win over Thailand Women in the semi-final. They had won the match by 74 runs. Sri Lanka women, on the other hand, clinched a thriller from jaws of defeat vs Pakistan in the second semi-final, the margin of defeat being of just one run. India have had a good run in the competition, with the only defeat coming against arch-rivals Pakistan in the middle stage. But even that loss does not put them on back foot. Harmanpreet Kaur has led her troops well in this mega event. Her form has been superb as well and Team India have played brilliantly as a unit.

There is no surprise that they are favourites to win the Cup as well. However, Chamari Athapaththu-led Sri Lanka cannot be so easily counted out. They displayed enormous amout of maturity in how they pulled off the semi-final win over Pakistan. The players displayed a dance performance later where the steps were in perfect sync. It sort of signified the team bonding their collective effort in the tournament to reach the final.

All eyes will be in Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma in this match. If they fire together at the top, there is no stopping the Indians in this game. They hold the key to make it a one-sided affair. India have found heroes at different stages in these matches, in Harman, Shafali, Sneh Rana, Deepti Sharma etc. This is a solid team and expect them to close the match today and lift the trophy at the end of the day.
