IND-W vs PAK-W Live Updates: Follow Match 9 of Women's Asia Cup 2026
The IND-W vs PAK-W clash will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 5.
India are the favourites to win the ongoing Women’s Asia Cup 2026. They have made a brilliant start with two consecutive wins. The Women in Blue have become the first team to qualify for the semi-finals.
Shafali Verma played a key role in the first game, and Smriti Mandhana slammed a century in the second game. India Women have recorded two big wins and are eyeing a third consecutive victory. Now, they will face their arch-rivals, Pakistan Women, in the upcoming contest.
This match will start at 8 PM (IST) on Saturday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Pakistan have also had a winning start to their campaign. They beat Thailand Women in a low-scoring clash.
However, their record against India is horrible, and their last T20I win against India came in October 2022. They would want to break this unwanted streak and record a win.

IND-W vs PAK-W: Players to watch out for
India – Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana is the leading candidate to finish as India’s top scorer and one of the match’s highest-scoring batters.
The Indian opener has been in outstanding form and recently smashed 124 off 64 balls against Hong Kong. The innings saw her become the leading run-scorer in women’s cricket history. Mandhana is a massive threat to the Pakistan bowling attack.
Pakistan – Fatima Sana
The Pakistan captain Fatima Sana is a bowling all-rounder and one of Pakistan’s key pace options. She not only has the responsibility of leading the team but also of leading the attack with the ball and simultaneously contributing with the bat. If Pakistan are to challenge India, Sana’s wicket-taking ability will be crucial.
