Bangladesh Women brought an end to the years dominance of India Women on Asia Cup title after winning the last edition in 2018 in Malaysia. Besides India, Bangladesh is the only Asian team in women's cricket who have won the Asia Cup title. Bangladesh will be officially hosting the 2022 edition of the Women's continental championship. The defending champions will kick-off their Women's Asia Cup T20 2022 campaign in an opening match on October 01 against Thailand Women at Sylhet District Stadium. Bangladesh won the Women's T20 World Cup qualifier last week, and this will boost the confidence of hosts further in the upcoming Women's Asia Cup T20 2022. Women’s Asia Cup T20 2022 Schedule in PDF for Free Download Online: Date, Time in IST & Venue List of All Matches Including India vs Pakistan Fixture.
