India Women are a much stronger side and are clear favourites to beat Thailand in the upcoming semi-final. The Indian side have never lost to Thailand Women before and are likely to maintain their winning streak against them.
On the other hand, Thailand Women have played some good cricket during the league stages but lack the firepower to beat a powerful side like India.
