India A Women secured a convincing five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka A Women to enter the final of the ACC Women's Asia Cup Rising Stars 2026 at the Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok on Friday. Captain Radha Yadav was the standout performer, excelling with both ball and bat to guide her team to a comfortable win.

Electing to field first, India A’s spin quartet dominated Sri Lanka A’s batting lineup.

Sri Lanka A struggled to build partnerships and were bowled out for 118 in 19.4 overs.

Chasing a modest target of 119, India A lost an early wicket as Nandini Kashyap was dismissed for 13. However, Vrinda Dinesh (42 off 20 balls) and Anushka Sharma (27 off 18 balls) stitched a crucial 48-run partnership to stabilize the innings and set the platform for a smooth chase.
