Harmanpreet Kaur-led Team India will look to enter back-to-back Women’s Asia Cup finals when they take on newcomers Thailand Women cricket team in the first semifinal of the 2022 edition in Sylhet on Thursday (October 13). India had thrashed Thailand by nine wickets in their last encounter just a couple of days back in the Women’s Asia Cup 2022 but Thai side are riding on a high after pipping home side Bangladesh to make the last four stage.
While Bangladesh won only two out of six games, Thailand won three: they defeated UAE, Malaysia, and most significantly Pakistan by four wickets to finish on six points. Thailand’s success at the Asia Cup has been powered by their openers Nannapat Koncharoenkai and Natthakan Chantham, and the captain Naruemol Chaiwai who usually make up the top three in their batting line-up. With the ball, left-arm spinner Thipatcha Putthawong is among the top five wicket-takers with eight scalps.
