India have a dominant record in Women's Asia Cups, having won seven out of the eight tournaments played till date. They also boast a record of 11-3 against Pakistan in T20Is, and undoubtedly are the favourites to win the tournament again.

The first day of the 2024 Women's Asia Cup on July 19 will see the big clash between India and Pakistan at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium. India come in as the defending champions and have won the tournament seven times.
The Women's Asia Cup is set for a blockbuster start when defending champions India take on arch-foes Pakistan in a prime-time clash here on Friday, with the eight competing teams hoping to firm up their combinations ahead of the T20 World Cup in October. Harmanpreet Kaur's India are the team to beat going into this iteration of the Asia Cup, having won the competition three out of four times in the T20 version and each of the four times in 50-overs format. Additionally, India are also the most successful team in the Women's Asia Cup T20 with 17 wins in 20 matches. They beat Bangladesh in the final of the last edition in 2022.
Star India batter Smriti Mandhana opened up on her mindset before the start of the Women's Asia Cup 2024 and said that she just plays 'according to the merit of the ball'. In the T20 format, Mandhana has played 136 matches and 131 innings, where she scored 3320 runs at an average of 28.13 and a strike rate of 121.83.

Team India reached Sri Lanka on Wednesday ahead of the Women's Asia Cup, which starts from Friday onwards. The defending champions, India will kickstart their journey towards a record-extending eighth Asia Cup title when they meet arch-rivals Pakistan at Dambulla on Friday. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a video of the team-members, including Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Varma, Renuka Singh, Shreyanka Patil and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, showing the fun and banter they had throughout their flight from Chennai to Dambulla.
The upcoming Women's Asia Cup in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, serves as a big chance for India to firmly nail their plans ahead of the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in October. India come into the competition as the defending champions and apart from eyeing to defend their title, they also have the number three conundrum and got to seal ideal batting position for Jemimah Rodrigues. Jemimah used to be India's number three batter in T20Is, before a back injury forced her to miss T20I tour of Bangladesh in April-May.
With left-arm spinner Radha Yadav's form on rise since her international return and off-spinner Deepti Sharma being reliable, India are sorted in their first two spinners. For the third spinner, there is a toss-up between off-spinner Shreyanka Patil and leg-spinner Asha Sobhana. Both Shreyanka (13 scalps) and Asha (12 scalps) played instrumental roles in leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru to WPL 2024 title. But the two are now in a tussle for the third spinner's spot. While Shreyanka offers batting depth apart from her bowling smarts, Asha's crafty wrist-spin brings variety to India's spin-bowling department.
