Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) welcomed the Indian and Bangladeshi women's teams to the island, sharing upbeat arrival photos of the players on social media.

The Harmanpreet Kaur-led India open their campaign with a Group A clash against bitter rivals Pakistan at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla on July 19. The group also has Nepal and the United Arab Emirates.

Defending champions India should easily win the group and make the semis, where they are most likely to face Bangladesh, the only other side to have won the tournament.

Bangladesh, led by wicketkeeper-batter Nigar Sultana, face hosts Sri Lanka on July 20 before taking on minnows Thailand and Malaysia on July 22 and July 24, respectively.

In the final of the 2018 edition, held in Malaysia, Bangladesh stunned six-time defending champions India by three wickets. India, however, reclaimed the title soon enough, beating Sri Lanka in the 2022 edition in Bangladesh.

The Format

Eight teams are divided into two groups of four with the group winners and runners-up qualifying for the semi-finals. All the matches will be played at Dambula.

The Asian Cricket Council launched the Women's Asia in 2024 as a One-Day International competition, it has been played in the shorter T20 International format since the fifth edition in 2012.
