Great going Thailand and and even better that two home grown Southerners performed well at the end of the innings. Good luck to Chai and Chill

Innings Break 🇹🇭🏏

Thailand post a competitive 296 all out in a 45 over contest. A strong batting display led by captain Austin Vincent Lazarus (92) and Akshaykumar Yadav (54).

A late flourish from Chanchai Pengkumta (31) and Pattarapol Jirapatananukul (29) provided the perfect finishing touch, adding valuable quick runs to push Thailand close to the 300-run mark. 💥

Now it’s time for the bowlers to take over. 💪🔥
