Despite showing a cautious approach from the start, Thailand kept losing wickets regularly, with Deepti giving India an opening by dismissing Natthakan Chantham in the third over. Skipper Naruemol Chaiwai was run-out courtesy of a misjudged single to Meghana Singh behind point, while Chanida Sutthiruang was castled for a first-ball duck in a classic off-spinner’s dismissal soon after.
