The 2022 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup was the eighth edition of the Women's Asia Cup tournament which took place from 1 to 15 October 2022 in Sylhet, Bangladesh.[1] The tournament was contested by Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and United Arab Emirates.[2] On 20 September 2022, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announced the schedule of the tournament.[3] Bangladesh were the defending champions, having defeated India by three wickets in the final of the 2018 tournament to win the title for the first time.[4] The tournament was played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.[5] The seven teams played in a round-robin stage, with the top four progressing to the semi-finals.[6]
The UAE and Malaysia had qualified for the tournament by reaching the final of the 2022 ACC Women's T20 Championship, which was played in June 2022 in Malaysia.[7][8]
In the round-robin stage, Thailand beat Pakistan by 4 wickets to register their first ever WT20I victory against their opponents.[9] Combined with a rain-out for the match between Bangladesh and the UAE, this led to Thailand qualifying for the semifinals, their best ever Asia Cup result.
