Renuka Singh's lethal three-wicket haul combined with Smriti Mandhana's brisk unbeaten fifty propelled India to a crushing 10-wicket win over Bangladesh, securing their place in the Women's Asia Cup final. Defending champions India will face either Pakistan or Sri Lanka, who contest the second semifinal.

Mandhana and Shafali Verma were in supreme form from the outset, making short work of the 81-run target without losing a wicket. The duo's flair and confidence cruised India to 83 for no loss in just 11 overs, with Mandhana smashing nine boundaries and a six.

India's bowlers, spearheaded by Renuka (3/10) and supported by Radha Yadav (3/14), dismantled Bangladesh, restricting them to a meager 80 for eight. The victory was all but ensured early as the Indian bowlers stifled Bangladesh in the Power Play and applied relentless pressure throughout.
