The Indian women’s cricket team is on a roll, clinching its second consecutive victory in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2017. The team thrashed Thailand Women in match No. 6 with 55 all out and cruised to a 9-wicket victory on Wednesday.
While Thailand chose to bat first, it could only score 55 runs at the end of their innings. They were no match for the Indian women, who have been in the best of forms lately. Unable to survive the Indian bowling attack, Thailand women lost wickets very easily.
Finally, India emerged winner to climb to the top of Group A.
In its last game with Sri Lanka, Indian players showed had a magical batting performance which led them to win by 114 runs in a Group A match at the P. Sara Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday. With Thailand, the team's bowling skills won the day. The bowlers were at their best despite not having veteran Jhulan Goswami. Mansi Joshi is (who replaced Soni Yadav) back. Yet, it was a good show by the Indian players bagging the best bowler tag for India with 3 wickets. Deepti Sharma, Poonam Yadav and Rajeshwari Gayakwad also took a couple of wickets each.
For India, Harmanpreet Kaur and Thirush Kamini opened the batting lineup. Harmanpreet was bowled for 15 by Thailand skipper Sornnarin Tipoch, but it didn’t affect the team’s mission that much as they achieved the target with 9 wickets and 37.2 overs in hand already. Mithali Raj captained her winning team.
While Thailand’s batting form was poor, India didn’t let that opportunity pass and hammered the team in a 9-wicket win.
India will next play against Ireland at the P Sara Oval on February 10.
