THAILAND WIN T20I SERIES AGAINST ZIMBABWE

Thailand Women’s run of success in home series has continued as they have beaten Zimbabwe by 8 wickets at TCG to claim the T20I series by 2 wins to 1.

This follows Thailand’s 3-0 victory in the ODI series against Zimbabwe and a double series victory over Netherlands.

Thailand reverted to a tried and tested formula to win convincingly as the home side’s spinners bowled superbly to concede only 65 runs in 17 overs with 58 dot balls and then Nattakan Chantam hit 56* from 53 balls with 10 fours.

Onnicha Kamchomphu took 3 for 20 and Thipatcha Putthawong took 1 for 9 in 4 overs to restrict Zimbabwe to 111 for 6.

Thailand were content to make a steady start but Nattaya Boochatham hit 25 from 17 balls before Nattakan Chantham took over. She hit three fours in the 15th over to bring up her fifty and Thailand reached 112 for 2 in 16.4 overs.

Thailand won by eight wickets with 20 balls to spare and Chantham was named player of the match. Thailand head to Cambodia for the SEA Games as favourites to win gold.
