The 2018 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup was the seventh edition of the ACC Women's Asia Cup, organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). It took place between 3 and 10 June 2018 in Malaysia, and was the third edition played as a 20-over tournament. The tournament was contested among Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand. India were the defending champions.
On 6 June 2018, during the group stage, Bangladesh beat India by seven wickets. This was Bangladesh's first win against India in a women's international cricket match, and India's first ever loss in the Asia Cup. On 9 June 2018, Thailand beat Sri Lanka by four wickets to register their first ever win against a team from an ICC Full Member.
India were the first team to advance to the final, after they beat Pakistan by seven wickets in their final group game. They were joined by Bangladesh, who beat Malaysia by 70 runs in their final match. It was India's seventh consecutive Asia Cup final and the first for Bangladesh. Bangladesh beat India by three wickets in the final to win their first Asia Cup title, and became the only other team to win the title besides India.
A month after the conclusion of the tournament, the International Cricket Council (ICC) retrospectively gave all the fixtures full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status.
