Women's Asia Cup 2024: Match 10, IND-W vs NEP-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s Women's Asia Cup match between IND-W vs NEP-W?

With two wins under their belt, India have more or less confirmed their tickets for the semi-finals, unless something dramatic happens in their final league game against Nepal on July 23. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has been terrific with the bat, especially in the last match, where they smashed 201 runs against the United Arab Emirates.

Richa Ghosh reigned supreme as she smashed 64* runs off 29 deliveries, while openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma were all class in the match against Pakistan. Among bowlers, Deepti Sharma has stood tall. Shreyanka Patil’s absence is a major blow for the team, but they are well-equipped to get the job done against the neighbouring Nepal side.

The Indu Barma-led side, on the other hand, picked up a comfortable win in their opening game against the UAE. However, in the following game, both the batting and bowling unit flopped, resulting in a nine-wicket defeat against Pakistan. If they recover from that loss and can upset the Women in Blue in the upcoming match, Nepal are a strong contender for the semis.
