Sri Lanka won the tournament for the first time

India used to dominate the Women's Asia Cup and this time too it was considered a strong contender for victory. Team India has won the title a maximum of 7 times so far, but its dream of winning the trophy for the eighth time was shattered by the Sri Lankan team. Sri Lanka also won the Women's Asia Cup title for the first time after a long time. In the first four editions of this tournament, Sri Lanka made it to the finals, but every time it had to be content with being the runner-up after losing to India. After this, in 2022 also, Team India defeated Sri Lanka once again in the final. However, this time it did not happen and Sri Lanka created history in a tremendous way by winning the title on home soil.
