Women's Asia Cup T20 2022 is now on exciting Match 10 with Thailand Women against Pakistan Women. Thailand is top of the points table after losing their last two matches. And Pakistan won both the games by 9 wickets. Thailand will try to win this match, but Pakistan is a good team and must win.
Two teams square off with very different tournament histories. Although one of the most anticipated teams in the competition, Bismah Maroof's Pakistan would scarcely have been considered the early favorites. Nevertheless, they are now in second position after easily defeating both Malaysia and Bangladesh with the help of outstanding bowling efforts. First, they applied pressure to a helpless Malaysian team, holding them to just 57/9 in 20 overs—a goal they quickly attained. Then, in an even more remarkable performance, they destroyed the Bangladeshi hosts. They held the opposition to 70/8 in their allocated 20 overs before defeating the hosts by 9 wickets, exactly as they defeated Malaysia.
The Pakistanis have bowled as a genuine team, which is surprising because you'd anticipate there to be a star player in performances like this. From the meek bowling from Diana Baig and Sadia Iqbal at the top through the dismissals of Nida Dar and Tuba Hassan, then Omaima Sohail's death knell at the tail end of the innings. Their batting has been effective, which contrasts with their precise bowling. Even while the willow may have made Sidra Ameen the center of attention, Muneeba Ali and captain Maroof have always been there to encourage her. from the table's upper end to its bottom. Thailand's tournament debut hasn't exactly been fantastic. After being hustled out for only 82, they first saw a powerful Shamima Sultana. Then, they faced a Harshitha Samarawickrama who was in the greatest mood of her life; as a result, she finished with a career-high 81.
The outcome was two crushing losses, first against Bangladesh by 9 wickets and then to Sri Lanka by 49 runs. Thailand may have completed two games against full-member countries in Women's Asia Cup, but they still have to play the two teams that are in the best shape, and they'll want to put up a fight against Pakistan and the like. But there is still hope. The sixth-ranked squad in the world is not the first time Thailand has competed against them. The most recent T20I match between the two saw Thailand leave a significant impact. Before the game was called off by rain, Nattakan Chantham's team had amassed a respectable 150/3 in 20 overs thanks to her 50-ball 56.
The match gives Pakistan with a chance to surpass longtime foe India and take the lead in the standings. With a victory today, Thailand might move up the standings and out of last place. They might, in all honesty, prefer to do well on the platform that has been provided for them. However, realistic fairy tales have never been created.
Pakistan Women vs Thailand Women
Thailand Women won by 4 wickets
The first victory for Thailand in this competition is also their largest triumph in T20Is. All the plaudits for their batting, bowling, and fielding are well deserved. They outperformed Pakistan today, limiting them to a score that they then chased down. Kanoh made sure that Thailand crossed the finish line with a boundary in the final over after Chantham, who had one of her greatest innings of her career with 61 off 51 against such a formidable bowling team, was unable to remain till the end. Alongside Chantham, Koncharoenkai and Chaiwai made brief appearances.
Due to the spinners' excellent bowling, they were having trouble in the middle with the lack of boundaries. Dar and Hassan both took two wickets, conceding just 26 and 18 runs, respectively. With just 17 deliveries in her four overs and a wicket, Sandhu bowled efficiently. Imtiaz was allowed one over, and although she took a wicket but also gave up 11 in it, the game changed. Pakistan lost the game due to a few overthrows, extras, and dropped catches.
