Women's T20 Asia Cup kick starts on June 3 in Malaysia

Under the able aegis of Asian Cricket Council, the 2018 Women’s T20 Asia Cup will be played in Malaysia from June 3 to June 10 among six teams; India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, and Malaysia. Each team will play every other team and the final match will be played between the top two teams.

India led by T20 sensation Harmanpreet Kaur will lock horns against the hosts on June 3. So far, India has had an envious record at the Asia Cup, winning six out of six Asia Cup tournaments. The Women in Blue will look to continue their winning streak at the Asia Cup this year as well.

The current Indian team has a perfect blend of youth and experience. Veteran players like Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami provide solidity to the side and give the young guns like Jemimah Rodrigues, Anuja Patil, Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma a license to go out on the field and express themselves.

India squad:

Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Anuja Patil, Veda Krishnamurthy, Taniya Bhatia, Jhulan Goswami, Pooja Vastrakar, Shikha Pandey, Poonam Yadav, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Ekta Bisht, Mona Meshram
