Women's Asia Cup Countdown: Dubai International Stadium to Host All Matches Under Lights
The upcoming T20 tournament, featuring India and Pakistan, will be played entirely at one venue with evening starts from August 28.
The story
With no international women's cricket fixtures played in the last 48 hours, attention turns to the upcoming Women's Asia Cup 2026. The tournament is set to commence on August 28 in Dubai, with all matches scheduled to be played under lights at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
This single-venue approach will streamline operations for teams and officials throughout the 17-day event. Among the most anticipated clashes is the group-stage encounter between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, slated for September 5. The competition will feature eight teams vying for the continental T20 title, culminating in the final on September 13.
