Winifred Duraisingam, Malaysia captain: "Very disappointed. we started well with the bat. our middle order collapse. [Where the team lost] Was Elsa's wicket. No one was on the right track after that. Chasing team won the last two games, so we were confident. We will come back stronger, and hope the girls play good cricket."
Nannapat Koncharoenkai, player of the match (translated): "Very happy with the win. It was the first time the new captain was on board, First game is always exciting but there was also some anxiety, that's why we saw some sloppy fielding. We have been pratcising for tough situations like today. "
Thipatcha Putthawong, Thailand captain (translated): "Initially, I was bit anxious. There is a good mix of young and experienced. It's a new experience not having the usual players, happy with the result. I was very confident of our bowling side, we did make a few mistakes but I was confident of pulling it back. "
5pm: What a comeback with the ball for Thailand as they open their Asia Cup campaign with a 22-run win in Dambulla. Malaysia were 83 for 1 at one point and looked set to post their first victory over Thailand in the shortest format. But despite their sloppy fielding, Kamchomphu and the rest of the bowlers pulled things back, triggering a collapse as Malaysia lost seven wickets for 24 runs. Putthawong becomes the youngest captain to a win a match in the Asia Cup. Julia held the fort with fifty but there was no support from the other end in the second half of the chase. Hunter's wicket in the 13th over was the turning point, I feel.
