Written By: Sanjay Thomas

India A Women crushed Bangladesh A Women by 46 runs in Bangkok to claim the ACC Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2026 title. Tejal Hasanis rescued India from a shaky middle order with a blazing 51 off 34 balls. Her partnership with Radha Yadav (36 off 30) pushed India to 134/7.

Chasing 135, Bangladesh never found its footing. Shamima Sultana’s 20 off 16 balls gave them early hope before Prema Rawat struck. Sarmin Sultana crawled to 18 off 29 as wickets kept tumbling at the other end.

Prema Rawat’s three-wicket burst broke Bangladesh’s back in the middle overs. Sonia Mendhiya and Tanuja Kanwer added two wickets each to seal the deal. Bangladesh were bowled out for 88 in 19.1 overs as India lifted the trophy.

First Innings Highlights

India A Women got off to a steady start at the top, but the real fireworks came in the second half of the innings. Vrinda Dinesh was bright in the powerplay, hitting four boundaries in the second over off Fariha Trisna to give India early momentum.

Nandini Kashyap, however, was dismissed by Fatema Jahan Sonia for 8 off 15 balls, run out in the sixth over after a mix-up. Minnu Mani fell cheaply for a duck in the same over, and Anushka Sharma was bowled out for 8. India were four wickets down and needed someone to take charge.

Radha Yadav and Tejal Hasabnis answered the call most dramatically. The two added crucial runs in the middle overs, keeping India’s innings alive. Radha Yadav hit big sixes in the 15th and 16th overs, finishing with 36 off 30 balls before Fahima Khatun removed her.

Tejal Hasabnis then took over fully and played a knock that changed the shape of the match.

Second Innings Highlights

Bangladesh A Women needed to chase 135 runs, and they never truly got going. Opener Ishma Tanjim was dismissed early by Saima Thakor for just 3. Shamima Sultana looked dangerous for a while, scoring 20 off 16 balls with three fours before Prema Rawat had her caught.

Sarmin Sultana then tried to build an innings, spending 29 balls for 18 runs, but could not find the big shots needed.

Fahima Khatun, the Bangladesh captain, was caught by Nandini Kashyap off Prema Rawat for 10. Bangladesh kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Sadia Akter went for 10.

Fahima Khatun, the batter, tried to push the run rate, but India’s bowlers were clinical and tight. Prema Rawat, Radha Yadav, and Sonia Mendhiya all put the pressure on and never let Bangladesh breathe.

Here is how Bangladesh’s chase fell apart.
