The men’s team have managed to win the Asia Cup twice over the years, but the women’s side has never quite managed to get over the line.Their best shot at the title came in the T20 format, back in 2012 and 2016, when they made it all the way to the final. Both times, though, they ran into a rock-solid Indian side and had to settle for the runners-up spot.Beyond those two campaigns, it’s mostly been third-place finishes and semi-final exits for Pakistan across the tournament’s history.Pakistan’s record at Women’s Asia CupYearFormatHost nationPakistan’s finish2004WODISri LankaDid not participate2005–06WODIPakistan3rd Place2006WODIIndia3rd Place2008WODISri Lanka3rd Place2012WT20IChinaRunners-up2016WT20IThailandRunners-up2018WT20IMalaysia3rd Place (Group Stage)2022WT20IBangladeshSemi-Finalists2024WT20ISri LankaSemi-FinalistsWomen’s Asia Cup past winners listIndia’s grip on this tournament has been firm.They won all four of the early 50-over editions outright and added three more T20 titles to push their overall tally to seven championships.Bangladesh famously broke that stranglehold with a nail-biting last-ball win in 2018, and Sri Lanka became the most recent side to dethrone India, claiming their maiden title back in 2024.EditionFormatChampionsRunners-upMargin / Outcome2004WODIIndiaSri LankaIndia won series 5–02005–06WODIIndiaSri LankaIndia won by 97 runs2006WODIIndiaSri LankaIndia won by 8 wickets2008WODIIndiaSri LankaIndia won by 177 runs2012WT20IIndiaPakistanIndia won by 18 runs2016WT20IIndiaPakistanIndia won by 17 runs2018WT20IBangladeshIndiaBangladesh won by 3 wickets2022WT20IIndiaSri LankaIndia won by 8 wickets2024WT20ISri LankaIndiaSri Lanka won by 8 wicketsDafabetMAKE YOUR BET WITH DAFABET AND GET UP TO 200% WELCOME BONUSCLICK TO BET
