Thailand could manage only 60 runs for 7 in the chase of 131 for the win at Dundee in Scotland on Saturday.

It’s her first fifty in T20 International.

The other opener Murshida Khatun (33) assisted Sanjida before being bowled in the 10th over. 

Thailand struggled from the beginning of their innings, losing four wickets to score 20 runs in 10 overs.
