In the first semi-final, India women eased past the Bangladesh challenge, while in the second, Sri Lanka women dominated Pakistan in the 19th Asian Games at Hangzhou, China.
India and Sri Lanka will feature in the final of the 2022 Asian Games at Hangzhou, China on 25 September 2023. The winner of the contest will take the Gold medal, while the loser will have to contend with a Silver medal.
The losing semi-finalists, Bangladesh and Pakistan, will battle it out for the Bronze Medal on the same day.
This is India's maiden appearance in the competition, while Sri Lanka are participating for the second time. They won a Bronze in the 2014 Asian Games at Incheon, South Korea.
Women's cricket has featured in the Asian Games on two occasions before. In 2010, Pakistan won the Gold medal by beating Bangladesh by 10 wickets. In 2014, they repeated the feat against the same opponents, though by a margin of just four runs.
