The Indian bowlers hardly broke sweat to dismiss minnows Thailand for a paltry 37 before knocking off the runs in just six overs with nine wickets in hand to top the seven-team group league in the Women’s Asia Cup, here on Monday
The emphatic win was India’s fifth victory in six games, with the only defeat coming in a low-scoring match against arch-rivals Pakistan.
India have 10 points from six games and are expected to be joined by Pakistan, Sri Lanka and one among Thailand and Bangladesh in the semi-finals.
Put into bat, Thailand struggled right through. The gulf in class was so huge that Thailand lasted only 15.1 overs. Sneh Rana was the most successful bowler.
Brief scores: Thailand 37 in 15.1 ovs (Sneh Rana 3/9, Deepti Sharma 2/10, R. Gayakwad 2/8). India 40/1 in 6 overs. India won by 9 wkts.
