AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoWomen’s Cricket Glory: India crushed Sri Lanka by 72 runs to win a record-extending eighth Women’s Asia Cup title in Dubai, posting 183/5 after a 129-run opening stand as Shafali Verma (68) and Smriti Mandhana (59) powered the innings, then spinners Shree Charani (4/20) and Deepti Sharma (3/19) wrapped up the chase for 111. Trophy-Talk Turns Political: The win was overshadowed by a fresh controversy: India’s women reportedly stayed in the dressing room and declined to collect the trophy from ACC president Mohsin Naqvi, while Sri Lanka accepted their runners-up cheque—echoing last year’s men’s final drama at the same venue.

Asian Games Prep (Kuwait): Kuwait’s handball team is finalising preparations in Japan ahead of the Asiad, with a tough Group B that includes Bahrain, South Korea, Iran and Kazakhstan. Innovation & Trade (Singapore–China): Singapore and China pledged deeper cooperation on innovation and regional market development at a business forum, aiming to boost resilience amid global uncertainty. Sports & Culture (Macau): Macau’s Na Tcha temples are set to host a “World Na Tcha Folk Belief Culture Festival” to promote local folk traditions across Southeast Asia.
