Pakistan captain Fatima Sana won the toss and opted to bat in the high-voltage clash of the Women's Asia Cup 2026, which is taking place at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. Pakistan will go with the same side. Notably, this is Harmanpreet Kaur's 150th clash as a captain.

Team India, who have already registered two dominating wins in the marquee event, will look for a hat-trick of wins in their final Group A clash and the Women in Blue have already sealed their berth for the knockouts. On the other hand, Pakistan have played only one match so far, securing a 35-run victory over Thailand in their tournament opener. If Pakistan manage to get the better of India today, they will also confirm their place in the last four, while Hong Kong and China will be knocked out of the tournament.

Captains at toss

Harmanpreet Kaur, India captain: Good we are getting a chance to chase. Great achivement on playing 150th T20I as captain, the key is to keep enjoying. We will try to restrict them to a shorter total. We are going with the same team.


Fatima Sana, Pakistan captain: We're gonna bat first because we want to put a maximum total here. [Did the last game influence this decision?] Yeah, because we know we have a good bowling side, so we will try to restrict them. [How have you addressed the batting wobble?] We had a good chat with the team and we just want to play according to the pitch. [Any changes?] No, we have the same team.]
