The Women’s Asia Cup is about to start with a big match between India and Pakistan on Friday. With the T20 World Cup coming in October, all teams are working hard to get their strategies right.
India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is seen as the top team to beat. They have won the T20 Asia Cup three out of four times and all four 50-over tournaments.
A funny moment happened during the pre-tournament press conference. When a journalist asked why there was less media coverage during India’s Bangladesh tour, Harmanpreet’s clever answer made everyone laugh.
The reporter asked, “There have been concerns about the importance of women’s cricket, especially after the Bangladesh tour. Less journalists appeared at your press conferences. What’s your opinion on this?”
Harmanpreet Kaur first asked for clarification and then smiled, saying, “Well, that’s none of my business. You guys have to come and cover us.”

Her answer not only showed how much attention women’s cricket is getting but also pointed out that the media should help promote the sport.
As the tournament starts, India’s strength in the Women’s Asia Cup T20 is clear, with 17 wins in 20 matches. They are the current champions, having beaten Bangladesh in the 2022 final. They also have a great record against Pakistan, winning 11 out of 14 matches in the shortest format.
With Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership and India’s strong form, the team is ready to make a big impact in their Group A match against Pakistan.
