DUBAI, Dec.12 (ICC Press Release): India's women will be aiming to complete a hat-trick of Asia Cup titles when they face Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the triangular tournament to be played in Jaipur, India, from 13 to 21 December.

India won the inaugural tournament in Sri Lanka in 2004 and successfully defended the title the following year in Pakistan. Now India launches its title defence against traditional rivals Pakistan.

This year's tournament will take place at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

It will be a special and historic time for the Pakistan team as it makes its first international appearance overseas since the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) took control of women's cricket in the country.
