India post 159/9 vs Thailand in Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026

India posted a total of 159 for 9 in their Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026 Group A match against Thailand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The innings was anchored by a blistering 64 from opener Shafali Verma, who set the tone before a late-order collapse nearly derailed the team's progress. Shafali, who was named in pre-match previews as a key player for India, delivered on that expectation. She struck three sixes and eight fours in a 36-ball knock that propelled India to a strong platform. Her aggressive start was complemented by a 22-run contribution from debutant Pratika Rawal, who was also highlighted as a player to watch ahead of the tournament.
