In the grand finale of the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars, India A Women will lock horns with Bangladesh A Women on February 22 in Bangkok, with the title on the line. After days of intense competition, it all comes down to this one match. Bangladesh A have been unbeaten so far, while India A have scripted a strong comeback story after an early setback. The stage is perfectly set for a thrilling finish to the tournament.
Bangladesh A have looked confident and composed throughout the competition. They began with a narrow but impressive four-run win over Sri Lanka A while defending 115. Against Thailand, they chased 103 to win by three wickets. Then against Malaysia, they secured a massive 90 runs win. In the semifinal against Pakistan A, Bangladesh once again stamped their authority. They posted 110 and then delivered a stunning bowling display, bundling Pakistan out for just 56 to seal a commanding 54-run victory. Four matches, four wins and a perfect run into the final.
India A’s journey has been slightly more dramatic. Their campaign started with disappointment as UAE chased down 130 in their opening game to hand them a seven-wicket defeat. India responded like true contenders. Against Pakistan A, their bowlers were sharp and disciplined, restricting them to 93 before chasing the target in just 10.1 overs. They followed it up with another convincing win over Nepal, bowling them out for 78 and completing the chase comfortably. In the semi-final against Sri Lanka A, India once again showed control and maturity. Chasing 118, they reached the target in 13.3 overs to win by five wickets and book their place in the final.
Now, it’s unbeaten dominance versus resilient comeback. Bangladesh A will look to maintain their flawless record, while India A will aim to continue their winning momentum and lift the trophy. With both teams boasting strong bowling attacks and fearless batters, the final promises to be competitive, emotional, and memorable.
