Series: T20 World Cup Qualifiers 2022
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium
Format: T20I
Toss: tba
Result: Zimbabwe by 6 wickets
Some sweet shots by Thailand’s Nannapat Koncharoenkai but the other batters struggled against the best attack in this tournament. Nomvelo Sibanda was superb, the delivery to remove Natthakan Chantham was a ripper, a classic left-arm seamer bringing the ball back into the right hander, cleaning up the stumps. Thailand’s innings never really recovered from that moment.
The Zimbabwe batters were untroubled by the Thai attack, Kelis Ndlovu bludgeoning the bowlers to all parts to put the result beyond doubt.
Scores:
Thailand 86/6 (Nannapat Koncharoenkai 47, Nomvelo Sibanda 2-12, Audrey Mazvishaya 2-14) 20 overs
Zimbabwe 87/4 (Kelis Ndlovu 46, Sharne Mayers 19, Thipatcha Putthawong 1-12) 16.4 overs
Player of the Match: Kelis Ndlovu
