INDIA vs THAILAND – Women’s Asia Cup T20 2022, 1ST Semi Final, who will win? Free Playing XI prediction, Pitch report, match analysis, Injury update
The first semi-final of the T20 Women’s Asia Cup 2022 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is between India and Thailand. Both these teams already met in the last league match, where India thrashed the Thailand team.
They will, perhaps, want to learn from their mistakes and try and put up a show against India. The match was held on Monday, and India played well against Thailand. The Indian team has qualified for the semi-finals, having lost only one match.
They are now at the top of the points table. Thailand may want to play for some pride in the game against India. They should feel proud of themselves for having been able to get into the semi-finals against giants of the game like India & Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
IND vs THAI women T20 2022 venue & pitch report
The pitch at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium can be as dry as it can get. That is because of the humidity levels present in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. The initial period may see the ball move around a bit.
But the spinners will have a say during the latter part of the game. If both teams can capitalize on that factor, then we can have a small contest at hand.

IND vs THAI women venue overall T20s matches
For India, they would expect Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma to do well. The openers are in current top form and have scored nicely. Of course, there is also Jemimah Rodrigues, who has been in top-notch form, and the team would hope that she continues the same.
As if that is not enough, there is also Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh. The Indian side has a deep batting order with the likes of Pooja Vastrakar, Sneh Rana, and Deepti Sharma. Naruemol Chaiwai’s team comes to the match with a proper 19-run victory against the United Arab Emirates.
This would do a world of good for them. However, they were beaten in their first two matches; who would have thought they would be sitting in the top four and facing India in the Semi-final?

The T20 Asia Cup was bound to throw some surprises, and Thailand was able to immerge as one of them. The Bangladesh side lost out because of the rain that hampered their chances of being in the top four teams on the points table.
They gave Pakistan a run for their money and then won confidently against the UAE team. As if that were not enough, they also defeated Malaysia. However, India thrashed them on October 10, and they will want to do well on Thursday.
