The 2nd Semi-Final of the Asian Games Women’s Cricket Competition 2026 is set to feature Bangladesh Women <a href="https://cricket.international/top-3-sri-lanka-women-players-to-watch-out-against-pakistan/” title=”Top 3: Sri Lanka Women Players to Watch Out Against Pakistan”>against India Women at Nisshin, Japan on September 20, 2026 (Sunday). The game will begin at 10:30 AM IST, with a place in the final on offer for the team that comes out on top. Bangladesh entered the semi-final after their quarter-final against China Women was abandoned without a ball being bowled. India, meanwhile, made their way into the last four after a dominant 8-wicket victory over Japan Women in their quarter-final.
India had very little trouble in their previous match, as they first restricted Japan to 57 runs and then reached 59/2 in only five overs while chasing the target. Bangladesh did not get the chance to take the field in their quarter-final because of the abandoned game, leaving their previous completed outing before this stage. The semi-final will therefore bring both teams into a high-pressure knockout contest with a final spot at stake. Bangladesh will look to make the most of their opportunity, while India will aim to carry the momentum from their comfortable quarter-final result into this game.
