India begin their Women's Asia Cup 2026 campaign against Thailand on August 30 in Dubai. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will also face Hong Kong, China, and Pakistan in the group stage.
India has been the most dominant team in the Women's T20 Asia Cup over the last decade, winning the title three times in five editions since 2016-17. The team's recent performances have raised questions about consistency.
