India A and Pakistan A are set to face off in a highly anticipated encounter at the ACC Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2026 in Bangkok. The two sides will meet on Sunday, February 15, at the Terdthai Cricket Ground, continuing one of cricket’s most closely followed rivalries at the developmental level.
The tournament serves as an important platform for emerging talent across Asia, providing young players with valuable international exposure on a competitive continental stage.
India A Seek Recovery After Opening Defeat
India A, led by Radha Yadav, enter the contest as defending champions and one of the tournament favourites. However, their campaign began with an unexpected setback.
In their opening match, India A suffered a seven-wicket defeat to the United Arab Emirates. The UAE successfully chased a target of 130, reaching the total with four balls remaining. Anushka Sharma top-scored with 45, but India A struggled to build sustained momentum and defend what proved to be a modest total.
The defeat raised concerns regarding batting depth and game management under pressure, areas the team will look to address against Pakistan A.
Pakistan A Carry Momentum Into Key Fixture
Pakistan A, meanwhile, began their campaign on a positive note. The side posted 137 for six in their opener before delivering a disciplined bowling performance to secure a 30-run victory over Nepal.
Captain Hafsa Khalid anchored the innings with an unbeaten 40, while Anosha Nasir starred with the ball, claiming three wickets to seal a comprehensive win.
With Pakistan A carrying early momentum and India A determined to bounce back, the match is expected to be closely contested.
