India A Women showcased a dominant performance to clinch the summit clash against Bangladesh, winning by 46 runs in a high-intensity encounter to lift the ACC Women's Asia Cup Rising Stars title on Sunday.

An unbeaten 51 from Tejal Hasabnis and a crucial 36 from captain Radha Yadav guided India A to a respectable total; bowlers delivered a clinical display to seal the victory.

Batting first, India A made a decent score of 134/7 in 20 overs. Openers Nandini Kashyap (8 off 15 balls, with one four) and Vrinda Dinesh (19 off 17 balls, with four boundaries) couldn't convert their start.

Anushka Sharma (8 off 12 balls, with one four) and Minnu Mani (0) also fell cheaply. However, middle-order batter Tejal Hasabnis played a fantastic unbeaten knock of 51 off 34 balls, with three fours and two sixes, and captain Radha Yadav (36 off 30 balls, with three fours and one six) helped India A Women cross the 130-run mark.

For Bangladesh, captain Fahima Kahtun took a brilliant four-wicket haul (4/25). Farjana Easmin (1/30) and Fatema Jahan Sonia (1/19) were also among the wicket-takers.

Good performance, but the top order needs to be more consistent. 134 is a decent total, but we can't always rely on the middle order to bail us out. Nandini and Vrinda need to convert those starts. Still, a trophy is a trophy! Congratulations to the team.

Captain Radha Yadav led from the front with both bat and ball! That's leadership. And Prema Rawat with 3/12? Fantastic spell. The bench strength is really impressive.

Watching from the UK. The quality of women's cricket in Asia is rising so fast. Bangladesh put up a fight, especially their captain Fahima. But India A was just too good. Tejal's innings was a match-winner.

So proud! 🏆 Tejal and Radha's partnership was the turning point. And the bowlers finishing the job. This is how you play a final. Bangladesh played well too, credit to them.
