Sydney: Natthakan Chantam cracked Thailand's maiden half-century of the tournament before their final Group B match against Pakistan was washed out here on Tuesday.

Thailand rode on the performance of openers Chantam (56) and Nattaya Boochatham (44) to post 150 for 3 in 20 overs. But victory eluded Sornnarin Tippoch's side, with persistent rain ensuring that Pakistan were unable to begin their chase.

Chantam's array of trikes down the ground a sight to behold. Chantam motored on regardless of losing her partners as Thailand made it to 100 for the first time this tournament. She eventually fell for 56 to a stunning return catch from Diana, with Thailand entering the last four overs with 116 to their name.

 

Brief Scores: Thailand: 150 for 3 in 20 overs (Natthakan Chantam 56, Nattaya Boochatham 44; Nida Dar 1-17).
