PAK-W 19/0 (7)

A slow start from Pakistani openers. Especially Shawaal Zulfiqar is taking her sweet time at the moment. Thailand new ball bowlers have done well to keep things tight.-

PAK-W 45/2 (17)

Thailand have done really well so far. They have dismissed both Pakistani openers and also kept the lid on the scoring rate. Look at the bowling figures so far. All of them outstanding.

Phannita Maya 6-1-19-1, Nattaya Boochatham 6-1-12-0, Onnicha Kamchomphu 3-1-5-1, Thipatcha Putthawong 2-0-8-0

PAK-W 64/3 (25)

The scoreboard is just not moving for Pakistan today. We are at the half-way mark in this innings and Pakistan have just scored 64 runs. They have lost three wickets also. But they would need some shots here. Maybe not now exactly but after a few overs if strike rotation does not work, they will have to get desperate to score.

PAK-W 81/3 (31)

Pakistan continue to be slow. Sidra Amin and Sidra Nawaz in the middle building a crucial partnership. But the problem is that the boundaries are not coming. They might be able to score enough as Thailand's batting is not that strong but Pakistan would love a big win here. But are they trying?

PAK-W 119/4 (40)

The run rate has gone up a bit with Fatima Sana joining Sidra Amin in the middle. 34 added in 51 balls so far between Sana and Amin. Last 10 overs remain. Pakistan would want to score at least 70 runs from them and give a target of over 190 to Thailand.

PAKW 180/4 (47)

This partnership between Fatima Sana and Sidra Amin has helped Pakistan take control of this game now. They can look towards the 200-run mark and if they get over that, that would definitely be a big score for Thailand to chase. It is anyway big even now. What a partnership between the duo and they have pushed Thailand to the corner.

PAK-W Post 205/6 In 50 Overs

Brilliant end for Pakistan after a slow start. Fatima Sana remains unbeaten on 62 off 59 balls and it was her innings that really helped Pakistan get over 200. Sidra Amin scored a brilliant 80 to set up the platform and Pakistan will be happy with their total.

THAI-W 35/1 (9)

A better start for Thailand than Pakistan. But it is still a long way to go. Can they pull of an upset tonight? Remember 206 is the target. Still there are 171 runs to chase down. Pakistani bowling is good enough to keep their calm and make Thailand make mistakes.

THAIW 62/4 (18)

Thailand have now suddenly lost four wickets and Pakistan are right on top in this game. After a good start, Thai players are throwing it away.

THA-W 82/6 (24)

A poor performance from Thailand after a promising start. They have now lost six wickets and this game looks done. Thailand have made a mess out of it. Pakistan will be really happy.

THA-W 100/7 (30.1)

Another wicket and now Thailand can neither score nor save their batters from getting out. Fatima Sana gets her second of the night and this is after a brilliant innings with the bat. Thailand look down and out.
