Live - Women's Asia Cup: Thailand fight back as India lose Shafali, Richa in two balls - India vs Thailand Women Live Score, Women's Asia Cup 2026: India will open their Women's T20 Asia Cup campaign against Thailand today with the pressure firmly on them to rediscover consistency in the shortest format. Despite being the dominant side in the continental tournament — winning three of the five T20 editions since 2016-17 — India have endured a difficult 2026. They have suffered nine defeats in 16 T20Is this year, including a damaging loss to Australia that knocked them out of the Women's T20 World Cup in the group stage.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur remains one of the major talking points. While she delivered in India's crucial World Cup clash against Australia, her inconsistent batting throughout the campaign has kept questions over her T20 future alive. With the Asia Cup followed by next month's Asian Games in Japan, India have little time to find their best combination.

The absence of Jemimah Rodrigues is a major setback for the batting unit, with Pratika Rawal brought into the squad. Mandhana and Shafali remain a dangerous opening combination, but India need the middle order to sustain the tempo and provide acceleration.

Their fielding also needs improvement after several costly lapses, particularly near the boundary. The bowling attack offers greater reassurance, with Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani, Radha Yadav and Prema Rawat forming a strong spin group, while Renuka Singh Thakur heads the pace attack.

Thailand, meanwhile, arrive after a confidence-boosting win over Hong Kong. Captain Naruemol Chaiwai scored 43, while Onnicha Kamchomphu took three wickets in a disciplined bowling effort.
