India has so far fielded separate playing XIs in all their matches in the tournament so as to give a chance to players who do not play regularly in the playing XI ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup.

Women’s Asia Cup 2022: The batting order is constantly being reshuffled in which captain Harmanpreet Kaur was dropped to the seventh position in the match against Pakistan.

But the move didn’t work and the ‘new-look’ middle order collapsed under pressure, causing the team to suffer its first loss to arch-rivals in six years. But still, the team will continue to shuffle.

Despite losing to Pakistan, however, the Indian team made a strong comeback in the next match and performed brilliantly in all departments, defeating defending champions and hosts Bangladesh.

Batsmen have played their part well

The Indian team has been performing as a united unit and the bowling department has been consistent throughout the tournament while the batsmen have played their part well.

The most positive thing for India’s batting line-up has been Shefali Verma’s return to form. The young opener scored a half-century in the last match which will be crucial to boost his confidence.

Smriti Mandhana has also scored some runs during the tournament. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was rested in the last match with a minor injury so it remains to be seen whether she will make a comeback in the team’s final group match.

Talking about Thailand, the team is showing a good game, having won their last three matches which includes a shocking win against Pakistan.

IN-W vs TL-W: Thailand is currently fourth in the table with six points. The team will be desperate to make the last effort to secure the final semi-final spot. Hosts Bangladesh is trailing with four points and the team has one match left.

India is at the top of the table with eight points and the team would like to be cautious against Thailand as they are capable of turning up. The last time both teams faced each other in the 2018 Asia Cup, India registered an easy victory.
