China Women came very close to winning their 4th game but fell agonisingly short by 5 runs against Nepal Women to conclude a successful campaign with 3 wins from 6 matches to finish 4th in the 7-nation tournament overall, above Malaysia Women, Hong Kong Women and Kuwait Women.
Hong Kong Women claimed their first win of the event against Kuwait Women but Kuwait still have a match to go against Nepal on the final day of the tournament.
The winner of the tournament will advance to global qualifiers for both Women’s T20 World Cup (2020) and Women’s World Cup (2021).
