Thailand bounces back in T20I against the Netherlands
Published at 14 July, 2023After Tuesday's excellent T20 win over Thailand, expectations were high. It became an anticlimax. The Netherlands was all out for 75; Thailand made the mini-score for the loss of two wickets in only 13.3 overs. Putthawong took 5-8, including four (!) bowleds in a row.
The Netherlands got off to a rough start. Being caught over the head, being run out by a bad call from your partner, being bowled on a forward defence – it may happen to the best and it makes cricket a painfully difficult and unforgiving sport. It all happened in the innings of the Netherlands.
The Netherlands were not in a good position at 75/6, but could still have put 100 runs on the board. Putthawong put a stop to that. She bowled the numbers 7 through 11, leaving Sterre Kalis stranded at the non-striker’s end 51 (the only player in double figures).
Thailand was ables to place the ball into a gap. Thanks in part to six boundaries, the target quickly came into view for the Asian women who throughly deserved the victory.
