India will aim to reclaim their Women’s Asia Cup crown when they start their campaign against Thailand on Sunday as seven-time champions and reigning Women’s Cricket World Cup winners.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s side will look to make a strong start after a successful recent period, while Thailand arrive with confidence after winning the ACC Women’s T20I Premier Cup earlier this year.
India have a dominant record against Thailand, winning all three of their previous women’s T20Is. That includes two Asia Cup meetings, with India winning by 66 runs in 2018 and by nine wickets in the 2022 semi-final.
Thailand have reached the Asia Cup semi-finals in 2022, while India have won seven of the nine editions. The gulf in tournament history makes India clear favourites, but Thailand’s started off with a 6-run win over Hong Kong.
