Women’s Asia Cup 2026, BAN-W vs IND-W: Marufa Akter key threat as India eye ninth straight WT20I win over Bangladesh
The stage is set at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as India take on Bangladesh in the first semi-final of the Women’s Asia Cup on September 10. The Women in Blue head into the clash with a perfect record, having won all three of their group-stage games, while Bangladesh won two of their three matches.
Overall, in terms of the WT20I history between these two sides, India have dominated, with 21 wins from 24 games. But in Asia Cup WT20Is, the equation is quite interesting, as two of Bangladesh’s three overall wins have come in this tournament. In Asia Cup WT20Is, India just edge Bangladesh 3-2 in five matches. In the 2018 edition, India lost twice to Bangladesh, with that campaign also bringing the maiden Women’s Asia Cup title for the Tigresses.
However, Bangladesh’s last WT20I win over India came on July 13, 2023. Since then, the Women in Blue have won eight consecutive WT20Is against them across competitions.
So, undoubtedly, India will once again be firm favourites and will look to continue their winning streak against the Tigresses. For Bangladesh, meanwhile, this is the perfect stage to avoid repeating the same mistakes they made in the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup semi-final against India, when they suffered a 10-wicket defeat.
Battle to watch out for: India’s top order vs Marufa Akter
India might have won all three of their games so far in this tournament, but their middle order has struggled. Hence, on an expectedly slow and sluggish Dubai pitch, where spinners are likely to get some purchase, India’s middle-order batters against Bangladesh’s quality spinners could be a key battle to watch out for in the middle overs.
But one battle that could be match-defining is India’s top order against in-form Marufa Akter with the new ball. Marufa has been superb with the ball so far in this tournament, taking seven wickets in three innings – the most for Bangladesh and joint-third overall.
Considering the way Pakistan’s Fatima Sana troubled India’s top order in the last game, Marufa could pose a similar threat. Despite the fielding restrictions in the powerplay, Marufa has used her in-swinging deliveries effectively.
That could be particularly tricky for Shafali Verma, who will once again be expected to take the aggressive route, considering her primary role as an opener is to maximise the powerplay overs as much as possible.

‘Ineligible’ to participate in trials, Vinesh moves court
Vinesh Phogat on Wednesday moved the Delhi High Court seeking a chance to fight for her place in India’s squad for the 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championships, challenging a Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) selection framework that she says excludes her for missing competitions during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum recovery.
Phogat has made it clear that she is not seeking automatic selection. Instead, she wants to be allowed to compete in the women’s selection trials scheduled for September 14 at the Indira Gandhi Stadium, with her eventual selection to depend entirely on her performance. The Senior World Wrestling Championships are scheduled to be held in Astana, Kazakhstan, from October 24 to November 1.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma asked counsel appearing for the WFI to obtain instructions on Phogat’s application and listed the matter for hearing on Thursday.
In her application, Phogat has sought a stay on the operation of the WFI’s September 7 circular to the extent that it excludes her from the selection process. She has also sought a direction to the federation to provisionally include her in the eligibility pool and allow her to participate in the trials.
The fresh application has been moved in Phogat’s pending petition seeking formulation of a policy for women athletes returning to competitive sport after pregnancy and maternity leave.
At the heart of her challenge is the WFI’s eligibility framework for the trials, which Phogat has described as creating a “closed" pathway by linking eligibility to participation and performance in specified competitions.
Under the circular, the women’s trials will be conducted in six Olympics weight categories. Those eligible include medal winners of the 2025 Senior National Wrestling Championship, the 2026 Senior Open Ranking Tournament at Gonda and the 2026 U23 National Wrestling Championship, besides specified Federation Cup medallists, wrestlers attending the national coaching camp and those selected for the 2026 U20 World Wrestling Championship.
Phogat has argued that she does not fall into any of these categories because her absence from the qualifying competitions was linked to pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery and requirements associated with her return to competitive wrestling.
Her case is that the selection framework provides no mechanism for dealing with a woman athlete who could not participate in the prescribed qualifying events for maternity-related reasons.
Phogat has also relied upon her performance at the Asian Games selection trials on May 30, where she competed in the 53kg category, won her quarterfinal bout and advanced to the semifinals.
She has clarified that the performance is not being cited to claim an automatic place in the Indian team, but as evidence that she has returned to competitive wrestling and should therefore be allowed to enter the World Championships selection trials.
“The Asian Games Selection Trials performance is a relevant circumstance" in determining whether she should be permitted to participate in the September 14 trials, the application states, adding that the ultimate selection can thereafter be made “solely" on the basis of her performance in those trials.
Phogat has argued that the WFI cannot rely on her absence from competitions she could not participate in because of maternity-related circumstances while simultaneously disregarding her subsequent performance after she was given an opportunity to return to competition.

Babar’s early dismissal added to Pakistan’s batting problems as the visitors were bowled out for 133 before England finished the day on 156 for 4, taking a 23-run lead.
Pakistan’s top order collapses at Edgbaston
England won the toss and chose to bowl first under cloudy conditions. The decision quickly paid off as Ollie Robinson dismissed Saim Ayub for a duck in the third over.
Jofra Archer then removed Azan Awais for 9 before Robinson struck again to get rid of Abdullah Shafique. Archer added another wicket by dismissing Shan Masood, leaving Pakistan struggling at 26 for 4.
Babar came to the crease with his team in trouble but could not stay for long. Tongue beat him with a sharp delivery that hit the top of off stump, leaving Pakistan 48 for 5.
Pakistan’s top five managed only 25 runs between them, highlighting their difficult start.
Josh Tongue leads England’s bowling attack
Saud Shakeel provided some resistance with a 43-run knock, but Pakistan could not build a meaningful partnership around him.
Tongue continued to trouble the Pakistan batters and dismissed debutants Ghazi Ghori and Mohammad Imran before eventually removing Shakeel.
Mohammad Abbas added 21 runs towards the end of the innings, but Pakistan were bowled out for 133 in 33.5 overs.
Tongue finished with 4 for 42, while Robinson and Archer took 3 for 15 and 3 for 25 respectively.
England lose three early wickets
England also had a shaky start with the bat. Ben Duckett was dismissed early by Mohammad Ali, while Jordan Cox fell lbw to Mohammad Abbas.
Joe Root then became the third wicket to fall when debutant Razaullah trapped him lbw. England were reduced to 39 for 3 and Pakistan had a chance to put pressure back on the hosts.
However, Emilio Gay and Harry Brook changed the momentum with a strong partnership.
Gay and Brook put England ahead on Day 1
Gay and Brook added 104 runs for the fourth wicket, helping England move ahead of Pakistan’s first-innings total.
Gay scored a patient 60 before Razaullah dismissed him late in the day. Brook remained unbeaten on 52, with Dan Lawrence alongside him as England reached 156 for 4 at stumps.
The result left England 23 runs ahead at the end of Day 1 and in a strong position heading into the second day.
Day 1 Brief Scores
Pakistan 133 (Saud Shakeel 43, Mohammad Abbas 21; Josh Tongue 4/42, Ollie Robinson 3/15, Jofra Archer 3/25)
England 156/4 (Emilio Gay 60, Harry Brook 52*; Razaullah 2/42)
England lead by 23 runs.
England will look to build a bigger advantage on Day 2, while Pakistan need early wickets to bring themselves back into the contest.
