Dinesh Vrinda vs Sachini Nisansala
The contest between Dinesh Vrinda and Sachini Nisansala could prove decisive in the semi-final. Vrinda has been India A Women's most explosive batter, scoring 110 runs at a strike-rate above 180. Meanwhile, Nisansala, the tournament’s leading wicket-taker for Sri Lanka A Women with eight scalps at a 5.50 average and 9 strike-rate, will look to outfox her early.

The face-off between Ama Kanchana and Radha Yadav could be pivotal in the middle overs. Kanchana has been crucial for Sri Lanka A Women at No. 4, controlling the tempo with composure.

IND-W vs SL-W Toss Prediction
The Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok is expected to offer balanced conditions favoring both batters and bowlers for the India A Women vs Sri Lanka A Women clash. Batters can play freely early on, but scoring tends to tighten as the game progresses, with spinners coming into play in the middle-overs.
Chasing has proven challenging at this venue with only 5 of the 12 matches in this Women's Asia Cup Rising Stars 2026 have been won by teams batting second, but outcomes largely depend on the batting depth of the sides. However, both the teams have tended to bat first after winning the toss so far, and this trend is likely to continue.
