Sneh Rana (Player of the Match): "Yeah, I am happy with my performance. I got the support of my teammates, captain and coaches. Whenever I get the opportunity to play, I try to give my best. Yeah, the confidence is that high to trust your process and do the best."
Smriti Mandhana | India Women Captain: "Yes, thank you so much. Playing for India and playing the 100th T20I is a special moment. Yes, our girls made it a great day with the performance. They did well to hand us a win in my 100th game. Thailand is a good team. Today, we were too strong and folded them for a paltry total of 37. They have played a great brand of cricket in the tournament so far. Yeah, definitely, we have to play the semi-final in a couple of days time. Need some rest now."
Naruemol Chaiwai | Thailand Women Captain: "Yeah, it was a tough day for us. India is a tough team to play. However, our batting hasn't performed the way they needed to. It spoiled our day. Yeah, for sure, we need to practice more. We don't have a big facility for the practice. We need to go a long way around for the practice. This is a great game. But, we need to get more exposure, playing against big teams."
Post-Match Presentation is here!
2:50 PM IST| That concludes the 19th fixture of the Women’s Asia Cup between India Women and Thailand Women from the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. This has been a comprehensive performance from the experienced India-W team, and they have thrashed Thailand by 9 wickets. A clinical demonstration from India Women in today's game in all three departments.
In what was anticipated as an easy chase, Indian batters did not disappoint. The opening pair of India-W did not maintain their partnership for long, and Blues got the first blow on just 17 runs in the form of Shafali Verma (8 off 6). After the dismissal of Shafali, Pooja joined Meghana in the middle. They came with all guns blazing, and Thailand bowlers didn't have any answers for it. India-W scored 40 runs in the powerplay and won the game by 9 wickets. Meghana and Pooja played an unbeaten knock of 20* and 12*, respectively, and help their side to win this game.
Earlier in the day, India-W chose to bowl after winning the toss, which appeared to be working in their favor. Thailand got off to the poor start possible. The opening pair of Thailand-W did not remain together for long, and Chantam delivered the first blow on just 13 runs (6 off 11). Following that, Thailand-W quickly lost another wicket in the form of their captain Chaiwai (3 off 14). Following Chaiwai's ejection, Sneh Rana captured Sutthiruang in the same over and directed her to the dugout without revealing her identity.
Mandhana then introduced her spinners, Deepti, Rajeshwari, and Sneh. As they preyed on the inexperienced Thai batters, they all picked up 7 wickets between them and completely dismantled the middle order. Thailand moved from 20/2 to 37/10 in a flash.
With this victory, India made it to the semi-finals of this Asia Cup.
