In a rare and commendable feat, the Indian Women’s Cricket Team has secured their spot in the ninth consecutive Women’s Asia Cup final, solidifying their dominance in the tournament’s history. The Women in Blue are the only team to have featured in all the finals of the Women’s Asia Cup since its inception in 2004. This remarkable achievement underscores the team’s consistent excellence and determination on the field.
Consistent Excellence in the Asia Cup
The Indian Women’s team is set to face Sri Lanka in the final of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024, continuing their legacy of reaching the summit clash in every edition of the tournament. Over the past two decades, the team’s performance in the Asia Cup has been nothing short of spectacular. Out of the nine editions played so far, India has emerged victorious on eight occasions. Their only loss came in 2018, when they were defeated by the Bangladesh Women’s team in a closely contested final.
Eager Anticipation for Another Historic Victory
As the Women in Blue prepare to take on Sri Lanka, they aim to add another trophy to their illustrious record, further cementing their status as the powerhouse of women’s cricket in Asia. Fans and cricket enthusiasts eagerly await the final, hoping to witness another historic moment for the Indian Women’s Cricket Team.
The Indian Domination
The Women’s Asia Cup has seen India dominate the tournament since its inception in 2004. India clinched the title in the first six editions, defeating Sri Lanka in the finals four times (2004, 2005, 2006, 2008) and Pakistan twice (2012, 2016).
In 2018, Bangladesh broke India’s winning streak by securing the title in Malaysia, with India finishing as runners-up. India regained their champion status in 2022, hosted by Bangladesh, defeating Sri Lanka in the final.
As India is now all set to battle it out against Sri Lanka in the final of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024, India remains a strong contender for the title, maintaining their consistent performance in the Women’s Asia Cup over the years.
