Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu won the toss and decided to bat first. But Indian bowlers kept their best foot forward and restricted them at just 65 runs at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet, Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With just 66 runs to chase, Indian openers Smriti Mandanna and Shefali Verma were looking to finish off the work quickly. They seemed in a good form and with the help of 4 fours and 1 six they helped India win the match by 8 wickets, as Mandanna closed the curtains for this tournament with a six. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Women&#39;s Asia Cup Final.

The only good take away for Indian fans from the Men&#8217;s Asia Cup 2022 was former skipper Virat Kohli&#8217;s 71st century. The 32 year old hit his first T20 century against Afghanistan in India&#8217;s last match of Asia Cup 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in a country like India, where women&#8217;s team is never given the deserved respect and appreciated compared to the men&#8217;s team is a shame as the Women In Blue have won the Asia Cup 2022.
