Bangladesh vs Indonesia: Women's Asia Cup 2026

Bangladesh open their Women's Asia Cup campaign against Indonesia on 31 August in Dubai, in a Group B that also has Sri Lanka and the UAE waiting.

Match Details

Why This One Matters

Sri Lanka are the defending champions, so early points count. Per the ICC schedule, Bangladesh face Sri Lanka on 6 September and the UAE on 8 September after this, both sides with a stronger recent Asia Cup pedigree than Indonesia. Top two from the group reach the semis on 10-11 September; the final is 13 September.

Bangladesh's Squad

Nigar Sultana Joty keeps the captaincy, Nahida Akter stays as her deputy. And this Bangladesh side isn't arriving cold - they beat both Pakistan and the Netherlands at the World Cup earlier this year. Shorna Akter was the difference in both wins; Marufa Akter runs the pace attack. The rest of the 15, per the ICC: Dilara Akter, Juairiya Ferdous, Sharmin Akter Supta, Sarmin Sultana, Sobhana Mostary, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan, Sultana Khatun, Shanjida Akther Maghla and Fariha Islam Trisna.

Indonesia's Squad

This is Indonesia's Women's Asia Cup debut, and as of 24 August, the ICC still had their squad marked TBC.

Recent Form

Two wins over Pakistan and the Netherlands at the World Cup mean Bangladesh's recent record reads better than their Asia Cup seeding suggests.
