The last match between two teams had turned out to be a huge mismatch as India had skittled Thailand out for just 37 runs in 15.1 overs to run away with an easy win during the league stage.
Thailand would look to do better than their previous batting effort against India after making the Asia Cup semi-final entry for the first time at the expense of hosts defending champions Bangladesh.
The Naruemol Chaiwai-led side would hope to prove that their qualification for the tournament was not a fluke. For India, the tournament came as a perfect opportunity to test their bench strength and give their less-experienced players "enough game time" ahead of the next year's T20 World Cup in South Africa.
As a result, India's star skipper Harmanpreet Kaur played only three of their six league matches, and even dropped down to No.
