Richa Ghosh accelerated through the final overs and finished unbeaten on 49. Her late hitting ensured India converted the strong opening stand into a target of 217.

India bowl Sri Lanka out for 69
Sri Lanka's chase never recovered after India struck regularly in the powerplay. The required scoring rate continued to rise, and the innings ended at 69 in 15.4 overs.
Deepti Sharma led the bowling figures with three wickets. Shreyanka Patil, Sree Charani and Shafali Verma took two wickets each as India completed a comprehensive all-round performance.
A 147-run victory in the gold-medal match
The 147-run margin reflected India's control of every phase of the final. The openers dominated the first half of the innings, Richa supplied the finishing power and the bowlers did not allow Sri Lanka to build a meaningful partnership.
The victory followed India's 114-run semi-final win over Bangladesh, when Shafali scored an unbeaten 100 from 49 balls.
India retain the Asian Games women's cricket title
India also won the women's cricket gold at the previous Asian Games. The 2026 triumph therefore gave the team consecutive titles and made India one of the competition's two-time champions.
India's route through the knockout tournament included an eight-wicket victory over hosts Japan, the emphatic semi-final win over Bangladesh and the 147-run victory over Sri Lanka.
Another major title after the Women's Asia Cup
The gold medal arrived shortly after India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the Women's Asia Cup 2026 final. Across the two finals, India's top-order aggression and spin-bowling depth proved decisive.
Mandhana's 79 underlined the value documented in her CricXZ player profile, while Shafali followed her semi-final century with another important contribution in the title match.
