Group A qualification picture
India's wins have put it in control of Group A. Pakistan entered its last league match with two points from two games after losing to India, so the Hong Kong fixture carries direct qualification importance.
Net run rate may decide positions when teams finish level on points. That makes the margin of victory important, not only the result. The final confirmed semi-final pairings should be taken from the Asian Cricket Council after the group stage ends.
Group B race
Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the UAE and Indonesia make up Group B. Sri Lanka began the tournament as defending champion after winning the 2024 title, while Bangladesh remains one of the strongest challengers for a semi-final place.
The Bangladesh-UAE match on September 8 is the final scheduled group fixture and could affect both qualification and the order of the semi-final matchups.
Teams and tournament format
The eight teams are divided into two groups:
- Group A: India, Pakistan, Thailand and Hong Kong, China
- Group B: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, United Arab Emirates and Indonesia
Each team plays the other three teams in its group once. The top two sides from each group advance to the semi-finals, where the group winners face the runners-up from the opposite group.
India squad and key players
Harmanpreet Kaur leads India with Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain. Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, Shafali Verma, Renuka Singh Thakur, Shree Charani and Prema Rawat are among the players central to India's campaign.
The performance against Pakistan underlined India's bowling depth: the spin attack controlled the middle overs, while the chase was short enough to limit pressure on the batting order.
