Women's Asia Cup 2026: Top 3 wicket-takers after group stage

The group stage of the Women's Asia Cup 2026 has concluded, with the four powerhouses - India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh sealing their place in the semi-finals. India and Sri Lanka sealed their place going unbeaten in their group, while Pakistan and Bangladesh were able to make their way out of the groups without much hassle despite the defeat.

All the teams have been carried to the semis on the back of dominant performances with the ball, taking key wickets on a slightly abrasive surface at the Dubai International Stadium. As the group stages have come to a close, we take a look at the three highest wicket-takers of the tournament so far.

Here are top 3 wicket-takers of Women's Asia Cup 2026 after group stage:

3. N Shree Charani - 7 wickets

India's N Shree Charani has been a key strike bowler for the side in the format in the recent past and is the tournament's third-highest wicket-taker, taking seven wickets in three games. She has the same number of wickets as Bangladesh seamer Marufa Akhter and Pakistan left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu, but stands ahead of the pair with a better economy rate, a miserly 3.19.

Shree Charani has taken wickets in all of India's matches in the group stages, taking figures of 2 for 10 and 2 for 16 against Thailand and Hong Kong, before following it up with figures of 3 for 7 in the marquee clash against Pakistan, where they were bowled out for just 55.
