Bangladesh Women Cricket Team beat Thailand by 7 wickets
In the Women's Asia Cup 2024, the Bangladesh women cricket team ended their ten-match losing streak in T20Is and collected their first points. They bounced back from the opening-game defeat to Sri Lanka with a convincing seven-wicket victory over Thailand in Dambulla to keep their hopes for a semi-final spot alive.
The four-wicket haul of Legspinner Rabeya Khan’s and seam-bowling all-rounder Ritu Moni’s two scalps helped Bangladesh restrict Thailand to a below-par 96 for nine on a spin-friendly surface. Nattaya Boochatham top-scored for Thailand with a 41-ball 40. In reply, Murshida Khatun, after missing the previous game, scored 50 off 55 balls to take Bangladesh home in 17.3 overs.
