Deepti Sharma: India won't drop intensity against Pakistan or Sri Lanka in Asia Cup final
Deepti Sharma insists India remain fully focused on execution ahead of the Women's Asia Cup final, regardless of whether they face Pakistan or Sri Lanka.
Fresh off securing their spot in the Women's Asia Cup final, India remain laser-focused on their own processes regardless of who emerges victorious from the second semifinal clash between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Dubai.
India's star off-spinning all-rounder Deepti Sharma emphasised that the squad maintains an uncompromising standard of preparation, refusing to rank opponents or dilute their competitive intensity ahead of the summit clash.
Having operated as one of India's most dependable match-winners throughout the tournament, Deepti noted that the team's tactical framework revolves entirely around clean execution rather than opponent reputation.
"Whether it is Pakistan or Sri Lanka, we don't take any team lightly," Deepti stated, underscoring the dressing room's sharp focus as they await their final opponent.
India's dominant run in the tournament has been underpinned by stingy powerplay bowling, high-intensity fielding, and deep batting resources that have comfortably broken opposition resistances.
With both prospective finalists posing distinct strategic hurdles—Sri Lanka's spin unit and Pakistan's gritty middle order—India's tactical clarity and individual form remain their greatest strengths as they eye another continental title.
