After being invited to bat first, Thailand women were restricted to a paltry 115/7 by Zimbabwe bowlers. Nannapat Koncharoenkai scored a valiant 54 runs to take Thailand to a score where they could give some fight to Zimbabwe.
However, the tables turned in the 2nd innings when what looked like a below-average score turned out to be one too many for Zimbabwe, as they were restricted to 114/6 by Thailand, thus losing the match by 1 run. It was Thailand's second victory in their 2nd match and consecutive losses for Zimbabwe.
