Colombo: Today marks the beginning of the Women’s Asia Cup cricket competition in Sri Lanka. There are eight teams taking part in this sport. Nepal will play the United Arab Emirates in the tournament’s opening match this afternoon. The match that follows is highly anticipated by Indian cricket fans as India takes on Pakistan. This is a response to the recent T20 World Cup loss by the Indian men’s team to Pakistan. The Indian women’s cricket team has the opportunity to potentially reverse Pakistan’s current situation.
