10 players to watch in ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2017

#5 Sornnarin Tippoch (Thailand)

Sornnarin Tippoch was Player of the Series in the World Cup Qualifying Series, Asia Region

One of Sornnarin Tippoch’s best moments as a bowler came in the Women’s Asia Cup last year when she had India’s Veda Krishnamurthy stumped.

She was Player of the Series in the World Cup Qualifying Series, Asia Region. Her 85 runs and three wickets helped Thailand win five out of their six matches and top the league. Her best performance came against Hong Kong Women across two games. In one encounter she made 36, and in the other fixture against the same opponent, she took 2 for 12.

Tippoch had first toured Sri Lanka in 2013 when she represented her club, Palink Sports Club, in Sri Lanka’s domestic limited-overs tournament. A leader of the side, her teammates look up to her off the field as well. Polite to a fault, she has a ready smile for everyone and a can-do attitude – and Thailand’s ability to learn from the experience of playing big matches is reason enough for it, she says.
