India vs BangladeshDambulla, July 26, 2.00pm native time
India and Bangladesh- current kind
India are the in-form team going into the first semi-final. They have played 14 T20Is this year and have won 10 of those with one being a no-result. After losing the house set to Australia 2-1 in January, they bounced back to push Bangladesh 5-0 and subsequently draw 1-1 against South Africa at house after the next game of the line was washed away.
Bangladesh has played in 11 T20Is during this time, but their sole other Asia Cup victories came in their final two games. Although blocking was their main concern prior to this competition, they have now accumulated runs at the top of the purchase and had nice efforts from their captain, Nigar Sultana, thereby ending their winning streak against Thailand on Monday.

They have met 22 days in this file over the years, and India have had the distinct middle finger, winning 19 days. Bangladesh offered a stiff fight next July when India won the series 2-1, but the more current residence set in Sylhet was quite one-sided in the readers ' favour.
At Asia Cups, nevertheless, India have won two and lost two against Bangladesh. India will never forget how Bangladesh won the Asia Cup in 2018 to win their first subject, despite the fact that Bangladesh were severely defeated at the final competition, which was held in Sylhet in 2022.

Latest forms for Sri Lanka and Pakistan
Sri Lanka nose into the last four, having won 12 out of 15 T20Is this year. Like India, they have remained unbeaten in this game, and have posted encouraging triumphs in the last seven decades with contributions from various players. Sri Lanka will struggle to win their first Asia Cup title despite their home advantage and form.
In 2024, Pakistan has struggled to find their rhythm. Having played 11 matches since January, they only have wins against Nepal, UAE and West Indies (once ) while falling short- several times by big margins- against India, England and West Indies ( four times ). However, they will take some confidence from the 10-wicket victory against UAE, where their spinners and openers shone the brightest.
Sri Lanka vs Pakistan- head-to-head
There have been 19 fixtures between the two sides over the years, and the contest has been close. Pakistan have won 10, with one ending in a no-result.
At the Asia Cup, too, Pakistan have been the dominant side between the two, winning three out of four T20Is. In the previous Asia Cup semi-final, in Sylhet, Sri Lanka turned the tables on Pakistan, clinching a low-scoring game by one run.
Players to see
In any knockout game, Chamari Athapaththu will undoubtedly be Sri Lanka's main player. But 2024 has been her young opening partner Vishmi Gunaratne's year. The 18-year-old has looked sorted in her stroke play, having scored 415 runs in 15 matches at an average of 37.72. She has so far in the competition hit 39 not out, 1, and 51 not out, and Sri Lanka will depend on the pair for another strong start.
For Pakistan, too, a lot can be accomplished at the top, with opener Gull Feroza proving a vital cog with Muneeba Ali. Feroza made her debut against Sri Lanka in May 2022 but was dropped in the next series. She made a comeback against West Indies in April, and she has since found success in Asia. She is coming off back-to-back half-centuries, scored at strike rates of 162.85 and 112.72. These openers will be key to keeping them quiet in Sri Lanka.
