“We batted really well, Thailand bowled quite well, not giving us easy runs or loose balls. We really had to work hard. That partnership [between her and Jemimah] helped us to get a score on the board,” said Harmanpreet.
With the ball, India thoroughly dominated with Deepti Sharma’s economical spell of 3-7, including 21 dot balls and breaking the back of the chase to set the base for a huge 74-run win to reach the final of the Women’s Asia Cup for eighth straight time.
