The third and final game of the T20I series between Thailand Women and Zimbabwe Women will be played on Friday, April 28. The Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok will host this contest.
The series is nicely poised at 1-1 at the moment and the winner of the third T20I will seal the series.
Zimbabwe won the first T20I to take an early lead in the series. They needed a win in the second game to wrap up the series, but the hosts bounced back to record a victory of their own and level the series. It was a close-fought contest and Thailand held their nerves to finish on the winning side.
Zimbabwe opted to bat first and only Sharne Mayers (29) and Chipo Mugeri (37) got to double digits as they finished their innings on 103/9. Nattaya Boochatham starred with the ball for Thailand, picking up three wickets.
In reply, Nannapat Koncharoenkai top-scored for the home team with 39 at the top of the order. The game went down to the wire and Thailand got across the line with three balls to spare, winning the game by five wickets.
An all-round effort from Thailand saw them win the second T20I and force the series into a decider. It will be a test of nerves for players from both sides as the series is on the line. Fans can expect a cracking contest on Friday.
