The Thailand women’s team created history on Thursday when they defeated Pakistan by 4 wickets in the Women’s Asia Cup match in Sylhet.

This was Thailand’s first win against Pakistan in a major T20 tournament and when the winning runs were scored, the players were ecstatic, running on to the field in celebration.

Natthakan Chantham, who scored a 51-ball 61, was the star of the 117-run chase while bowler Sornnarin Tippoch (2 for 20), played a major role in restricting Pakistan to the low total.

Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat with Sidra Ameen scoring a 64-ball 56 to put the Women in Green in control, before a disciplined bowling performance by Thailand restricted them to a low total.

Pakistan will next face archrivals India in a high voltage clash on Friday and will hope to put this shocking loss behind them.

While an India-Pakistan tie always generates hype, the recent two matches between the two sides failed to produce a close game with India winning comfortably.
