India, Pakistan Drawn Together for Women’s Asia Cup 2026

The Story in Brief

India and Pakistan will meet in Dubai on 5 September in the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup, Times Now reports. The Asian Cricket Council has placed both teams in Group A alongside Thailand and Hong Kong, China. The tournament will be held in the UAE from 28 August to 13 September, with every match scheduled at Dubai International Stadium.

India will begin its campaign against Thailand on 30 August and face Hong Kong, China, on 3 September. Group B comprises defending champions Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the UAE and Indonesia. The top two teams from each group will reach the semi-finals, scheduled for 10 and 11 September, before the final on 13 September.

The Indian Opinion

The India-Pakistan fixture will attract the loudest headlines, but treating it as the tournament’s whole story would be lazy. India must first negotiate two group matches, while Sri Lanka enter as defending champions. Claims that the draw alone decides the contest ignore the format and the other teams. The useful measure will be the standings after 8 September, when the four semi-finalists are known.
