Pakistan advanced to the semi-finals after defeating Thailand by three wickets in a rain-affected quarter-final in the Asian Games Women's Cricket Competition at Korogi Sports Park on Thursday. The match was reduced to 11 overs per side after persistent rain prevented play from getting underway on time, with the toss also delayed due to the adverse weather conditions.

After being asked to bat first, Thailand posted 91/4 in their allotted 11 overs, with wicketkeeper-batter Nannapat Koncharoenkai leading the scoring with a fighting 49 off 38 deliveries. Her innings included seven boundaries as she anchored Thailand's innings and helped them post a competitive total despite the reduced number of overs.

For Pakistan, captain Fatima Sana was the standout bowler, claiming 2/22 in her three overs. Left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu also chipped in with one wicket as Pakistan restricted Thailand to 91/4 in the rain-shortened contest.

Chasing 92, the green shirts reached the target after losing seven wickets in the final over, with Shawaal Zulfiqar top-scoring with 25 off 14 deliveries. Umm-e-Hani ultimately scored the winning run to seal Pakistan's place in the semi-finals.
