That’s it from the Women’s Cricket competition at the Asian Games 2026! The focus now shifts to the Men’s Cricket competition, which gets underway in just a few days’ time. For now, this is Pritam Dey signing off, along with my colleagues Akshay Bhide, Bishal Mandal and Aman. BYE BYE👋
India’s first gold medal of the Games comes from the Women in Blue in Cricket. India have defeated Sri Lanka for the second time inside 10 days in a Final! INDIA CLINCH THE COVETED GOLD FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE TIME IN WOMEN’S CRICKET AT THE ASIAN GAMES! India take home the Gold, while Sri Lanka have to settle for Silver.
The players from India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have stepped onto the podium for the medal ceremony. Pakistan are receiving the Bronze Medal. Now, Sri Lanka are receiving the Silver Medal. And the moment that all Indians are waiting for, India receive the Gold Medal. As India are gold winners, the Indian national anthem is now being played.
Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women Captain): "(On winning back to back gold medals) Well, it means a lot. When we arrived here, we spoke about being unbeaten. Good to see that everyone in the team came out with some positive approach. Everyone who got a game to play, contributed and today as well, we got to see a solid performance. We wanted to be unbeatable and glad that everyone came up with really, really positive mind.
(On the youngsters) Our bowling unit have done incredibly well in the recent past. Kranti and Nandani have responded really well. Our bowling coach has worked really hard behind them. Our spinners are our strength. Shree Charani and Deepti have bowled exceptionally well in this tournament as well."

Richa Ghosh (India): "[Feeling after winning the Gold Medal?] Feeling really good. Our focus is to win the Gold Medal and wanted to make everyone proud. All are happy after grabbing the gold medal.
[On winning a medal for the country and how is it different from winning the Asia Cup?] It's a different feeling. When you finish on the podium and sing the national anthem, it's a special feeling.
[How will they celebrate?] We don't plan the celebration before the match because it's an intense game. Obviously, we will celebrate. There are two celebrations pending. So, we will definitely celebrate."
