Highlights from the match:
1) Rabeya Khan 4/14 (Bangladesh)
The Bangladesh spinner put up a masterclass with the ball during Bangladesh’s clash against Thailand. She was brought in after the powerplay, and the decision was spot-on with her first victim being Aphisara Suwanchonrathi, followed by a wicket two balls later in the form of Nannapat Koncharoenkai. She finished with figures of 4 for 14 in four overs.
