Congratulations to SL on reaching the final for the 3rd consecutive year.

The disappointment on Fatima Sana's face is there for all to see, while Nilakshika Silva embarks on a jubilant run towards her partner who is all pumped up. The Sri Lankan dugout erupts in celebration, with everyone over the moon after pulling off a remarkable chase. They were in a tough position at one stage, but held their nerve when it mattered most to complete a stunning victory and book their place in the final. The Sri Lankan lower middle order has been phenomenal in this competition, and once again, they have done the job. Chasing 130 on a tough surface, Fatima Sana dismissed Chamari Athapaththu and Sanjana Kavindi off back-to-back deliveries in the second over, before Hasini Perera and Imesha Dulani also perished quickly as Sri Lanka were reduced to 33/4. That's when Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari joined hands and put on 67 runs for the fifth wicket. Samarawickrama scored 36 off 31, while Dilhari made a run-a-ball 33, but neither could finish the job, with both falling to Fatima, who finished with figures of 4/38. Nilakshika Silva (18* off 10) and Kaushani Nuthyangana (10* off 4) then put the finishing touches on a memorable chase and ensured Sri Lanka reached their third consecutive Women's Asia Cup final.

Fatima Sana did everything she could, but it just wasn't enough. She deserves immense credit for her all-round effort and is a worthy Player of the Match

. But now, the focus shifts to Sunday's final, and it's India vs Sri Lanka for the third consecutive time. India got the better of Sri Lanka in the 2022 final, before the island nation finally broke through to claim their maiden Asia Cup title in 2024. Both sides have been unbeaten in this tournament and have thoroughly earned their place in the summit clash. So, brace yourselves for what promises to be a fascinating finale.

Congratulations to Sri Lanka for winning the match.

I can't believe, from 4 down for 33 runs in the 7th over Sri Lanka made about 100 runs in the next 12 overs by just losing two more wickets. Unbelievable stuff from lower middle order. Sri Lanka found very lower middle order gems in both men's and women's teams.

They will pose a challenge for India tomorrow.

Cheers..
