That's a wrap - India kick off their campaign with a win, but there continue to be concerns around their middle order. Up next, India face Hong Kong, China on September 3, while Thailand take on Pakistan on September 1. The Asia Cup action continues on Monday, August 31 when Bangladesh take on Indonesia at 2.30 pm GMT (8 pm IST). Until next time, take care and goodbye!
The captain of India Women - Harmanpreet Kaur shares that her team played well overall, acknowledging the solid effort put in across the match. She gives credit to the Thailand bowlers for their performance, stating that they bowled exceptionally well and deserved full recognition for their efforts. Notes that while the new ball was coming on nicely to the bat, scoring became increasingly difficult as the ball grew older. She also says that their batting unit could have performed better, but gives credit to the Thailand bowlers for consistently hitting difficult lengths that were hard to attack. Turning to individual performances, she praises Shafali Verma for finding her rhythm with a beautiful innings, and highlights Deepti Sharma as a key player for the squad, expressing hope that she continues her fine form.
The stand-in skipper of Thailand Women - Thipatcha Putthawong says that she is quite proud of how her team performed, describing it as a very encouraging outing against a formidable side like India. Reflecting on the match, she believes that they executed their plans extremely well in the first innings by restricting the opposition to a manageable score. She concludes by acknowledging that their batting could have been better, emphasising that it will be a key area for improvement moving forward.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Shafali Verma has been given the award for her entertaining knock of 64 runs from 36 balls. She says that she initially focused on finding the gaps and felt the ball came nicely onto the bat with the new ball. Mentions that once it got older and began to hold a little, she adjusted by playing it later and continuing to target the gaps. Shares that the team is happy with the win and will look to give their all in the tournament.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
A mixed outing - Thailand Women put in a superb effort with the ball, one that made everyone sit up and take notice. Even after the kind of start India had to their innings, they did not let their heads drop and fought hard in the second half to put the cat among the pigeons in the Indian camp. Coming to their batting effort, the challenge was made even tougher by the absence of their designated skipper, Naruemol Chaiwai, who was the standout in the campaign opener against Hong Kong, China. Nannapat Koncharoenkai showed plenty of intent despite wickets falling at the other end, and she was the lone bright spot with the bat.
Stumbled with the bat, but had enough - Fireworks from Shafali Verma had taken India to 101/2 at the halfway mark, and with the depth they had, a total around 200 seemed on the cards, but Thailand fought back superbly with the ball and in the field. India managed just 58 runs and lost 7 wickets in the second half of the innings to finish on 159. With the ball, it was a mixed-bag start from the pacers, but once the spinners came on, they tightened the screws and chipped away at the wickets.
India off to a winning start - Stumbled with the bat but the Women in Blue had enough quality with the ball to get the job done. It was an inspiring bowling display from Thailand, but with the bat, apart from Nannapat Koncharoenkai, there was not much to write home about. It was always going to be a tough ask against this Indian attack, but Thailand will be better for the experience and can take plenty of positives from the game.

Deepti Sharma To Nannapat Koncharoenkai OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Deepti Sharma wraps things up by picking the final wicket. She finishes with three wickets from the 7 balls she bowled tonight without conceding a single run. With that wicket, Deepti becomes the leading wicket-taker in Women’s T20Is, going past Thipatcha Putthawong with 171 wickets. India win by 94 runs. Sharma starts the over with a shorter one, pitching it just outside off, but the ball grips and turns into the batter sharply. Nannapat Koncharoenkai rocks back to cut it away, but the ball jumps on her and loops toward the silly point region off the shoulder of the blade. Richa Ghosh reacts quickly as she reaches across to her right and dives while extending her hands to pouch the catch.

Kranti Gaud To Nannapat Koncharoenkai OUT!
OUT! ONNICHA KAMCHOMPHU IS RUN OUT! Three wickets in as many balls for India. On a back of a length, on middle. Nannapat Koncharoenkai makes room and lofts it on the rise but does not quite manage to get hold of it. Spoons it wide of mid on, where Smriti Mandhana gets around to her left quickly. Onnicha is keen for a single, and seeing that, Koncharoenkai also sets off for the run. Halfway through the run, both batters hesitate, and that leads to the downfall of Kamchomphu. Mandhana picks the ball up and scores a direct hit at the bowling end. The replays confirm that the two batters did not cross, and hence, Onnicha Kamchomphu is deemed to be the one dismissed.
Smriti Mandhana produces the direct hit. Both batters stranded in the middle of the pitch, and the third umpire is called into action to check who will be adjudged out.
The new batter is Onnicha Kamchomphu.

Nandani Sharma To Sunida Chaturongrattana OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two in two for Nandani Sharma. Bowled on a good length, outside off, a hint of away shape. Sunida Chaturongrattana has a poke at the ball away from her body. The ball moves away enough to graze the outside edge. Richa Ghosh is standing up to the stumps, and she fumbles at the first attempt but manages to cling on eventually.
Sunida Chaturongrattana walks out to the middle.

Nandani Sharma To Suleeporn Laomi OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! The change of pace does the trick. Slower one from Nandani Sharma, on off, fuller in length. Suleeporn Laomi plants her front foot toward the leg side of the delivery and swings her blade to slog it away. However, due to a lack of pace, Laomi fails to time it right and loops it toward long on, where Shafali Verma does the rest.
