In Match 12 of Group B in the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 at Dambulla on Wednesday (July 24), Sri Lanka Women delivered a commanding performance, securing a comprehensive 10-wicket victory over Thailand Women. Sri Lanka successfully chased down the target of 94 in just 11.3 overs without losing a wicket, showcasing their do??minance in the ongoing tournament.

Thailand struggle to build momentum

Thailand, opting to bat first, struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Sri Lankan bowling attack. They managed to score 93/7 in their 20 overs. Nannapat Koncharoenkai was the standout performer with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 47 off 53 balls, including five boundaries. Despite her resilient innings, Thailand’s batters found it difficult to form substantial partnerships, leading to a modest total.

Thailand’s innings began on a shaky note, losing Nattaya Boochatham for a duck on the very first ball, bowled by Achini Kulasuriya. Aphisara Suwanchonrathi tried to provide some stability with a quick 12 off 9 balls but fell to Fernando. Phannita Maya (2 off 18 balls) and Chanida Sutthiruang (4 off 3 balls) couldn’t contribute much, as the wickets continued to tumble.

Sri Lanka’s bowlers were in top form, with Kavisha Dilhari leading the way, taking 2 wickets for just 13 runs in her 4-over spell. Inoshi Priyadharshani, Chamari Athapaththu, Sugandika Kumari and Achini Kulasuriya each chipped ??in with a wicket apiece, keeping Thailand’s scoring rate in check throughout the innings.

Vishmi Gunaratne and Chamari Athapaththu lead the charge for Sri Lanka

Chasing a modest target of 94, Sri Lanka made light work of the task, reaching the target in just 11.3 overs. Vishmi Gunaratne and Chamari Athapaththu provided a perfect start, both remaining unbeaten to ensure a comprehensive v?ictory.

Boochatham and Thipatcha Putthawong tried to contain the run flow but were unable to break the opening partnership. Onnicha Kamchomphu and Maya were the most expensive, conceding 22 and 17 runs respectively in thei??r short spells.

In Match 8 of Group B in the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 at Dambulla on Monday (July 22), Bangladesh Women achieved a comfortable seven-wicket win against Thailand Women, easily chasing a modest target of 97 runs. Bangladesh reached 100/3 in 17.3 overs after an impressive bowling display that restricted Thailand Women to 96/9 in their 20 overs. This win further solidifies Bangladesh’s position in the group, highlighting their overall team strength and strategic execution.

Rabeya Khan’s magical bowling spell against Thailand

Thailand struggled to form significant partnerships after opting to bat first. Despite a steady start from Nattaya Boochatham, who scored a resilient 40 off 41 balls with four boundaries, the rest of the batting lineup faltered against a disciplined Bangladesh bowling attack. Aphisara Suwanchonrathi managed only 6 runs and Nannapat Koncharoenkai was dismissed for a duck, underscoring Thailand’s difficulties at the top order. The consistent pressure applied by Bangladesh’s bowlers disrupted any momentum Thailand hoped to build.

Rabeya Khan was the standout bowler for Bangladesh, claiming an impressive 4 wickets for just 14 runs in her 4-over spell. Her performance was well-supported by Sabikun Nahar Jesmin, who took 2 wickets for 28 runs and Ritu Moni, who chipped in with 2 wickets for 10 runs. Thailand’s middle and lower order collapsed under this relentless pressure, with only Suleeporn Laomi (17 off 13 balls) and Rosenan Kanoh (13 not out off 9?? balls) providing some resistance. Their inability to form substantial partnerships was a key factor in their subpar total.

Murshid Khatun shines in Bangladesh chase

Bangladesh’s chase was anchored by a composed innings from Murshida Khatun, who scored a steady 50 off 55 balls, including eight boundaries. Although they lost Dilara Akter early for 17 runs, Murshida’s composed knock, along with contributions from Ishma Tanjim (16 off 22 balls) and Moni (9 not out off 10 balls), ensured that Bangladesh reached the target without much trouble. Murshida’s experience and calm demeanor at the crease were instrumental in guiding her team to victory.

Thipatcha Putthawong was the pick of? the bowlers for Thailand, taking 1 wicket for 18 runs in her 4-over spell. However, the lack of support from other bowlers meant that Bangladesh faced little challenge in their pursuit of the target. ?The inability of Thailand’s bowlers to create sustained pressure allowed Bangladesh to chase the target comfortably.

In Match 3 of Group B at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on Saturday (July 20), Thailand Women secured a 22-run victory against Malaysia Women in the Women’s Asia Cup 2024, despite Wan Julia’s valiant effort. Thailand set a target of 134 runs, which Malaysia failed to chase, ending their innings at 111/8 in 20 overs.

Thailand’s innings: Setting a competitive target

Thailand began their innings aggressively, with Nattaya Boochatham scoring a brisk 18 off 10 balls, including 4 boundaries. However, the team faced early setbacks as Nannaphat Chaihan and Boochatham were dismissed within the first three overs. Nannapat Koncharoenkai provided stability with a solid 40 off 35 balls, while Phannita Maya contributed 29 o?ff 28 balls. Despite freque??nt wickets, Thailand managed to post a competitive total of 133/6 in their 20 overs.

Wan Julia’s lone battle for Malaysia

In their chase for 134, Malaysia struggled to maintain a steady run rate. Captain Winifred Duraisingam scored 22 off 28 balls, but it was Wan Julia’s innings that stood out as she top-scored with 52 off 53 balls. The rest of the batting lineup fell short of significant contributions, with only Elsa Hunter reaching double figures.? Thailand’s disciplined bowling and fielding efforts were instrumental in restricting Malaysia to 111/8 in 20 overs, securing a comfortable victory for Thailand.

Julia’s remarkable performance was the highlight of Malaysia’s innings. Despite scoring 52 off 53 balls and providing a lone fight for her team, the lack of substantial support from her batting partners was detrimental. Her effort, while commendable, was not enough to steer Malaysia to victory.

Thailand's experience in defending low scores paying off. They are feeding off the nervousness and lack of confidence from the Malaysian lower order/tail. That opening over where Malaysia conceded 15+ really hurting them now. #AsiaCup2024 #WomensAsiaCup
