DHAKA, Feb 22, 2026 (BSS)- Captain Fahima Khatun claimed 4-25 with her wily 
left-arm spin as Bangladesh A Women's team restricted India A Women to 134-7 
in the Asia Cup Rising Stars final game at Terdthai Cricket Ground in 
Bangkok, Thailand today.

Bangladesh now need 135 to clinch the trophy for the first time in their 
history.

Fahima struck twice as India found them in a shaky state after opting to bat 
first. The Bangladesh captain claimed the wicket of opener Dinesh Vrinda (19) 
and No.3 batter Anushka Shrma (8) in her first spell and played a key role in 
pushing India to a struggling 44-4 in ninth over.

Tejal Hasabins and captain Radha Yadav steadied the innings and in doing so 
propelled the side past the 100-run mark, adding 69-run for the fifth wicket.

Fahima dismissed Radha for 36 to break the partnership but Hasabins played 
till the last to stay not out on 51.

Farjana Easmin and Fatema Jahan took one wicket apiece to complement captain 
Fahima.

Bangladesh A Women's team earlier emerged as group B champion after winning 
all three matches against Sri Lanka, hosts Thailand and Malaysia. They 
thereafter beat Pakistan by 54 runs in the semifinal match to set up final 
against India.
