There was something to celebrate for Thailand on Saturday as their women’s team registered their first-ever victory against a Full Member.

Chasing 104 in their T20 Asia Cup match, they reached their target off the final ball to seal a thrilling four-wicket triumph over Sri Lanka.

It was a remarkable result for Thailand who went into the match as underdogs as they have no international status.

Wongpaka Liengprasert took 5-12 in her four overs, before returning to hit the winning runs in a vital nine-ball 13 at the Royal Selangor Club, Kuala Lumpur. It was their second win of the tournament.

Earlier, Naruemol Chaiwai had top-scored with 43 to set them up for victory after Sri Lanka were all out for 104.

India and Bangladesh, who finished in the top-two in the league stage, will contest Sunday’s final.
