Anthems before action - The fireworks light up the occasion as both teams make their way onto the field. The formalities now take centre stage, with Pakistan's national anthem followed by that of the defending champions, Sri Lanka. The second semi-final is almost ready to come alive.
Sri Lanka, by contrast, look well-balanced. Nilakshika Silva’s rescue half-century against Indonesia and Harshitha Samarawickrama’s composure in a tight chase against Bangladesh give them plenty of depth.
For Pakistan, the pressure is now on top-order duo Shawal Zulfiqar and Muneeba Ali to fire. Both are yet to make a significant impact, and they will need to deliver today to keep Pakistan’s title hopes alive.

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Live Score, Women's Asia Cup semi-final: The second semi-final of the Women’s Asia Cup sees defending champions Sri Lanka Women take on Pakistan Women, with the former entering the contest unbeaten and in impressive form. Sri Lanka have looked well-balanced throughout the tournament, with Nilakshika Silva’s rescue half-century against Indonesia and Harshitha Samarawickrama’s composed effort in a tight chase against Bangladesh underlining their batting depth. Chamari Athapaththu leads a strong Sri Lankan XI that will be confident after beating Pakistan in a bilateral series last month.
Pakistan, meanwhile, have endured an inconsistent campaign. They were bowled out for just 55 against India and then survived a scare against Thailand after posting only 119 for 9. Their batting will once again be under scrutiny, with openers Muneeba Ali and Shawaal Zulfiqar yet to make a major impact. Pakistan, who have not reached the Asia Cup final since 2016, need a much-improved performance to keep their title hopes alive.
Sri Lanka have won the toss and opted to field.
