THAI GIRLS ON COURSE FOR GOLD

Thailand took a big step forward in their quest for a gold medal in the women's 20-over cricket competition as they comprehensively beat main rivals Malaysia by 7 wickets. The hosts were dismissed for just 48 as Suleeporn Laomi took 4 for 8 with her flighted leg-breaks. Thailand needed only 8 overs to reach 48 for 3 as Nattakan Chantam hit 23 from 13 balls. Victory against Singapore tomorrow will confirm the Thai girls' place in the gold medal match.
