India registered a thumping 74-run victory over Thailand to storm into the finals of the ongoing Women’s Asia Cup 2022 at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Fielding first, Thailand did a relatively good job of restricting the mighty Indian team to 148/6 in 20 overs. Sornnarin Tippoch picked up three wickets for just 24 runs in her quota of 4 overs.
For the Women in Blue, opener Shafali Verma and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who returned after missing the last two matches due to a niggle, dragged India to a competitive total. While Shafali scored 42 from 28 deliveries, Harmanpreet made 36 off 30 balls.
However, the batting unit of Thailand couldn’t perform well enough and only managed to get 74/9 in 20 overs, losing the contest by 74 runs. Deepti Sharma led the bowling attack and returned with jaw-dropping figures of 3/7 in her quota of 4 overs, including a maiden.
Apart from Deepti, Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/10), Renuka Singh (1/6), and Shafali (1/9) chipped in with valuable contributions.

Asia Cup is where other teams fight each other to play in the finals with India.
8th consecutive final. 🇮🇳But it’s good to see how the associate teams are also stepping up. By playing these multinational tournaments against big teams will do a world of good to them.#AsiaCup
