India Women meet Hong Kong Women in the seventh match of the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup in Dubai. India are captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, with Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain, and their squad also contains Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, Renuka Thakur and Radha Yadav.
Hong Kong are led by Natasha Miles and include Maryam Bibi, Chan Ka Ying, Iqra Sahar, Mahekdeep Kaur and Yasmin Daswani in a 15-player group. India are expected to have the stronger batting and bowling attack.
The pitch can slow down, which gives the spinners a role, but batters who settle should be able to score well, especially in the powerplay. Expect a moderate-scoring game, and a total of 165 or more would put either team under serious pressure.
