That's all from this game but we have another game coming up on this Super Saturday! It is New Zealand facing Sri Lanka. Do join us that game at 1900 Local (1100 GMT). Until then, cheers.
Stafanie Taylor, the West Indies skipper, says that she is really happy with her performance and her team's performance. Says that she is really happy with the team and tells that its nice to have everyone back in the side. On the bowling, Taylor says that Connell has been working really hard with Courtney Walsh and that was evident in her bowling. Feels that they played quite a few dot balls and they would look to sort it out and rotate strike. Ends by saying that they could've had done better against the Thai side.
Sornnarin Tippoch, the Thailand skipper, says that she is happy with her performance. Tells that they needed to get around 120. Adds that they need to keep improving in all the areas. States that they need to work on their off side game. Finishes by saying that their bowling is their strength. Feels that their bowling and fielding was excellent in this game. Finishes by saying that they were waiting for the day and is proud of her team.
STAFANIE TAYLOR IS THE MAN OF THE MATCH. She starts by saying that the bowlers bowled really well and it was her batting which was an issue. She felt that she needed to stick it out in the middle. Adds that they needed to take their time out and credits the bowling. On her not bowling full quota of bowling, Taylor says that she keeps telling her coaches that give her less bowlers in the side so she does not feel like giving the ball to everyone.
Earlier in the game, after being asked to bowl first, West Indies scuffed Thailand and did not give them easy runs at all. The Thai team could only manage 78 runs, that too after the effort from Koncharoenkai who scored 33 of the total. Skipper Taylor led from the front with a 3-fer. Other bowlers chipped in with wickets at regular intervals and kept things tight. Stay with us for the presentation.
Defending a small total, the Thai bowlers did exceptional work, provided this was their first-ever outing in a World Cup game. Boochatham, Sutthiruang and Laomi were very economical in their spells but failed to pick wickets. Lateh was the one who got the wicket apart from two run outs that came with fielding brilliance from Laomi and Chaiwai. Eventually, the total was a little too less to defend and Thailand ended up on a losing side.
The run chase didn't start well for West Indies as they failed to rotate strike early on. Thailand bowled tight lines and didn't allow them to score freely. A couple of runs outs thumped the run chase but skipper Taylor and Campbelle made sure they open their account on the points table.
An easy victory in the end for West Indies. They would've had some nerves when Thailand picked a couple of wickets quickly but the experienced duo of Stafanie Taylor and Shemaine Campbelle took the Windies home with an unbeaten 50-run stand.

Chanida Sutthiruang to Shemaine Campbelle ,NOT OUT! Campbelle can breathe a sigh of relief. What a delivery from Sutthiruang though. She nails the yorker on the pads. Campbelle tries flicking but misses. Thailand roar an appeal and the umpire agrees with them. Both the batters get together and discuss the DRS and at the very last second they take it upstairs. The replay roll in and show that there is no involvement of the bat. Is it hitting the stumps? It is not which is confirmed by the Ball Tracker, missing the leg pole by a big margin. Excellent use of the review from West Indies.
Has Thailand got another one? Campbelle has been given out LBW but she takes the decision upstairs at the very last second. Looks really close. There is no bat involved. Is it hitting the stumps? No, missing by some margin.

Laomi at point quickly gets to the ball and fires a superb throw just over the stumps for the keeper who quickly whips the bails off.

So, 79 is the total West Indies are chasing. Shouldn't be a tough task given the kind of batting West Indies have. They will look to break their losing streak and start the tournament with a win. Let's see if the Thai bowlers can make this interesting. Join us for the run chase in a bit.
Anisa Mohammed is down for a quick chat with Nasser Hussain. Anisa says that there was good bounce in the wicket but feels that they have top-class spinners in the side and adds that they did their job. Tells that they had done some study about the Thai batters. Ends by saying that they simply want to win the game.
There was pace and bounce on the wicket and Chinelle Henry and Shamilia Connell removed the two openers quickly. And once the spinners came, run-scoring became difficult. All the 4 spinners who bowled, they were all economical and ended up with at least a wicket. Skipper Taylor came to bowl in the later phase of the innings and bagged a 3-fer.
Nattakan Chantam played a couple of delightful shots but fell soon. Nannapat Koncharoenkai, the keeper of the side hung on in the middle and did the scoring but did not get enough support from the others. Chaiwai looked good for her 13 and she along with Koncharoenkai added 35 runs between them. However, once the stand was broken, it was only a nosedive for them.
Playing in the World Cup is always a pressure game and if a team is featuring in the tournament for the first time, there will always be pressure and nerves. That is exactly what was visible in this Thailand team. Only two of their batters could enter into double figures and that is enough to describe the batting from them.

Stafanie Taylor to Suleeporn Laomi ,OUT! STUMPED! Thailand lose their ninth wicket off the last ball and THEY FINISH ON 78/9. It was a dismal performance from them.
