Once again the dominance of the Indian team has been seen in the Women’s Asia Cup. The most successful team of this tournament has made it to the finals for the 10th time. Team India, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, has entered the final by defeating Bangladesh in the semi-finals of the Women’s Asia Cup 2026. The proof of this success of India is not only the continuous victories, but there are also such figures which are the major reasons for this victory. The most important thing in this is to hit sixes. Indian batsmen have hit a total of 25 sixes so far, which is much more than the other teams of the tournament.
In this ongoing tournament in UAE, Team India’s batting has not shown its full form. There has not been any match in which all the Indian batsmen have completely destroyed the opposition bowling. But in every match at least 2 batsmen have scored so many runs, which were enough for the team to win. The Indian team has scored more than 150 runs in every match, in which such innings have contributed and in such a situation it is natural to hit sixes.
India hit twice as many sixes as 7 teams.
Till now, India has played a total of 4 matches including group stage and semi-finals. Statistics show that Indian batsmen have hit a total of 25 sixes in these 4 matches. In this too, opener Shefali Verma has hit the maximum number of 9 sixes and her partner Smriti Mandhana has hit 7 sixes. On the contrary, the remaining 7 teams of the tournament together could not hit 25 sixes. These 7 teams have hit only 13 sixes in total, which means that these 7 teams have been able to hit only half the number of sixes of India. In this, Sri Lanka has hit 5 sixers and Pakistan has hit only 3 sixers. Hong Kong and UAE are two such teams which have not hit even a single six.
Number-1 in runs and wickets also
Indian players are on top in this tournament not only in hitting sixes but also in scoring runs and taking wickets. The highest run scorer in the tournament is also in the name of Shefali, who has scored 168 runs in 4 innings, which includes 2 half-centuries. Mandhana is at second place with 154 runs, while Bangladesh’s Sobhana Mostari (95) is at third place. In terms of wickets, veteran spinner Deepti Sharma is on top with 11 wickets, while Sri Lankan captain Chamri Atapattu (9) is on second and India’s Sri Charani (8) is on third.
