India and Sri Lanka will clash once again in a title match at the Asian Games on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. This encounter follows their recent face-off in the Asia Cup final, which took place in Dubai just nine days earlier. Both teams are eager to assert their dominance in this prestigious tournament.
The defending champion will look to extend its seven-match winning streak against Lanka in a repeat of the final from three years ago in Hangzhou, and will enter the contest at the Korogi Athletics Park in Nisshin as the strong favourite on both form and ranking. Both teams are unbeaten in the competition. As the only one who was part of the side last time around, Deepti would be keen on getting another gold but Chamari’s return to form with the bat should make the Indians wary.
While India thrashed Bangladesh by 114 runs in the semifinal, Lanka had to fall back on captain Chamari Athapaththu’s 50-ball 83 to get over the line in a tricky chase against Pakistan in the other last-four clash.
Given a choice, the Women in Blue would look to bat first and get a big total to put Sri Lanka under pressure, just like they did in the Asia Cup earlier this month.
Match starts at 10.30 a.m. In case the final gets washed out, India would be declared winner as the higher-ranked team. IST.
