Sri Lanka Women have reached the Women's Asia Cup final after defeating Pakistan Women by four wickets in the semifinal.
Sri Lanka faced a difficult start to their chase after losing four wickets for only 33 runs. The team then produced a strong recovery and gradually moved back into control of the match.
Important contributions from Harshitha and Dilhari helped Sri Lanka rebuild the innings after the early setbacks. Their efforts gave the defending champions the stability they needed to complete the chase.
Pakistan had initially put Sri Lanka under significant pressure by taking early wickets. However, Sri Lanka's middle order responded well and kept the team moving towards the target.
The four wicket victory secured Sri Lanka's place in the final and kept their hopes of defending the Asia Cup title alive.
Sri Lanka will now face India in the final. The meeting will also bring back memories of the 2024 Women's Asia Cup final, when the two sides previously met for the title.
The result gives Sri Lanka another opportunity to compete for the continental championship.
