Nisshin: India will fight to retain the gold medal against Sri Lanka in the Asian Games women’s cricket final here on Tuesday. Coming off a dominant win against the opponents in the Asia Cup final, India will look to repeat the performance, while Lanka awaits a bounce-back.
Shafali Verma’s blistering form has been the crucial factor for India throughout the competition. The opener scored a 49-ball hundred against Bangladesh to help the team advance to the final. Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu was the driving force for Lanka in their semi-final win over Pakistan, and she will aim for redemption for her side after their defeat in the final of the recently held Asia Cup.
The match will begin at 10:30 am IST. India have won the toss and decided to bat first in the final.
