Their win-loss ratio of 2.05 underlines how consistently they have performed.Japan have been particularly strong at home, winning 20 of their 27 matches. They have also dominated teams such as Mongolia, South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines, while their overall record includes wins in 30 matches when batting first.Their fight against India also showed that experience does not always translate into a comfortable scoreline. Chasing India's 32/4 in a five-over contest, Japan finished on 30/3, losing by only two runs.Captain Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming top-scored with 12 off 12 before Washington Sundar dismissed her in the fourth over.
