Deepti Sharma brushed off any concern regarding which opponent India will meet in the championship match, stating it makes no difference whether they face Pakistan or Sri Lanka. The Indian side secured their place in the title clash following their Women's T20 Asia Cup semi-final fixture against Bangladesh. Despite moving forward in the competition, the squad experienced another subpar showing with their fielding during the knockout encounter. Sharma downplayed the fielding lapses as an occasional occurrence, remarking that such off days are simply part of the game.
