Undoubtedly, Indian women are the probable winners of this game. They completely trashed Thailand Women in their previous encounter. The team is coming out nicely as a unit. Additionally, the bowlers have stood out in all the games. Meanwhile, Thailand has been good in the tournament. But against a unit like India, their odds are much lower. Overall, we can expect a good contest.
