Women's Asian Games 2026: Shafali Verma shines with maiden ton as India women storm into final
India women coming out with a commanding performance on Sunday in Dubai swept past Bangladesh women by 114 runs in the Women's Asian Games semi-final to secure their place in the tournament final. Deciding to bat, India posted a big total of 195/4 in 20 overs following a scintillating maiden international century from Shafali Verma, who remained unbeaten on 100 off 49 balls.
Smriti Mandhana added 37 at the top of the order as India got a flying start. Harmanpreet Kaur also played an important role, scoring 40 and stitching a valuable 94-run partnership with Shafali Verma. Chasing a target of 196, Bangladesh's chase got off to a disastrous start, losing a couple of wickets for nine runs. Indian bowlers maintained great pressure, striking at regular intervals to cripple Bangladesh.
For Bangladesh, Dilara Akter only provided a brief resistance, scoring 27 off 23 balls; however, she received little support from the other end. Meanwhile, Bangladesh were bowled out for 81 in 15.4 overs, suffering a devastating defeat.
