India produced a dominant all-round display to clinch their eighth Women's Asia Cup crown, defeating Sri Lanka by 72 runs in a one-sided final in Dubai. The Women in Blue posted 183/5 behind dynamic half-centuries from openers Shafali Verma (68 off 39) and Smriti Mandhana (59 off 39), who shared a record-breaking 129-run opening stand. Spinner Sree Charani then led the bowling attack with 4/20 to bundle out Sri Lanka for 111.

However, significant off-field drama eclipsed the post-match proceedings. Team India chose not to accept the championship trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
