This is Darpan Tikiya saying goodbye on the behalf of co-commentator Akshay Bhide, scorer Chandan Kumar Singh and stats-person Aman. Keep following CREX for more cricketing action from around the world. See you soon!
Tomorrow, Indonesia Women — who impressed in patches on their Asia Cup debut on Monday — will lock horns with the defending champions Sri Lanka Women. Do join us for that game. Our coverage will begin at 7:00 PM IST, 5:30 PM local time.
Meanwhile, Thailand Women's group stage fixtures are done. With a win over Hong Kong and defeats against India and Pakistan, their destiny is no more in their hands. They will need other results to go their way. But with their negative net run rate, the hopes of a semifinal berth will seem whimsical now.
It might not have been an immaculate display from them, but Pakistan Women got the job done. They beat Thailand Women — a team that defeated them the last time they clashed in the Asia Cup — and get their campaign off to a winning start. They will next face arch-rivals India Women on Saturday, September 5.
Fatima Sana (Pakistan Women Captain): "[Happy with this win?] Yeah, I think when we win the match, it gives the confidence.
[On Muneeb's knock] Definitely. We were struggling in the batting. She took the responsibility. She is a senior player and she took the responsibility.
[On their bowling tonight] We all know that we have a good bowling attack. We have a good spin attack. If they can carry this momentum, we can play good cricket ahead."

Muneeba Ali: "(On the pitch) Surface was gripping a bit when we were batting. It was on our mind. We wanted to use the powerplay, but we kept losing wickets.
(Plans for it?) When we had our discussions (before the match), we did think that in second innings, there will be more spin and it will be difficult for batting. I think 130-140 would have been a good score.
(On going ahead in the tournament) When you win, you take confidence from it, but we need to rectify a few areas as well."

Naruemol Chaiwai (Thailand Women Captain): "[Thoughts on tonight's game] We were good in bowling and fielding because we restricted them to that total. In the batting side, it wasn't good.
[On their batting and areas to improve moving ahead?] We are here to play cricket. We know we cannot control whether we win or lose. We want to enjoy cricket. We want to enjoy.
[On playing in the Asia Cup] It's a good chance for Thailand team to play top teams like India and Pakistan. We believe it is a good way for us to improve ourselves.

11:20 PM IST, 9:50 PM local time: Pakistan Women win by 35 runs and in many ways, avenge the loss they suffered at the hands of Thailand Women in the 2022 edition of the Asia Cup. With this result, they have also pushed the latter on the brink of elimination. Thailand will now need other results to go their way in order to qualify for the semifinals.
However, one can laud the fight they put up tonight. For the large part of this game, they had Pakistan under the pump. The coin landed in Fatima Sana's favour and to the surprise of many, they decided to bat first. Then, the Thipatcha Puttawong show began.
