DAY 5 - ASIA WOMEN SOFTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP, JAKARTA
Defending champions and world number
2 ranked Japan, continued their dominance at the 11th Asia Cup Women
Softball championship in Jakarta today, as they booked their berth in the final
on Tuesday, defeating Philippines 10-0 in four innings at the GBK Softball
Stadium.
Japan took an early lead with four
runs in the first innings itself to follow with another two and four in the
next innings.
Japan will be going for their fifth
consecutive title and seventh title in the history of the competition.
Japan will meet China in the final
and both have secured two of the three places from the Asia Cup to the 2021 World
Women Softball Cup. Japan as host of the Olympics next year have also secured
their berth.
The third berth for the World Cup will
be a battle between Chinese Taipei and Philippines, in the third placing match
on Tuesday.
Japan will be looking forward to continue
stamping their superiority here especially after having defeated China 12-0 in
their Group A match earlier in the championship.
China on the other hand in the other
semi-finals, had to work hard for their victory over arch rivals Chinese Taipei,
with a 4-1 victory.
China’s coach Corey Myers was looking
forward to the final against Japan and said that an upset cannot be ruled out.
“In our first encounter in the Group
match, we started off well, but things did not fall into place in the end. The
final will be different, as the players are all looking forward to the second
chance to redeem themselves,” said Myers.
“It is a game and anything can
happen. And having played some quality matches in our run-up to the final, the
team is even more prepared and psyched to do well.”
Yesterday against Chinese Taipei,
China had to wait for the seventh inning to seal victory, after having had
three runs in the first and one in the third. Chinese Taipei kept the pressure
with their one in the first inning and another in the seventh.
Earlier, Indonesia and Korea had
confirmed their berths for the pre-Olympics in Shanghai in September, when they
defeated Thailand (4-3) and Hong Kong (11-0) respectively, to book their 5th
and 6th placing match.
As 5th and 6th
placed teams, both Indonesia and Korea qualified, leaving one more berth to be
decided in the 7-8th placing match between Thailand and Hong Kong.
Hong Kong booked that berth with
their 13-3 victory over Thailand seven innings.
Japan qualify automatically as host
of the 2020 Olympics Games, thus seven teams qualify from the Asia Cup.
Korea finished fifth spot after they
beat host Indonesia 11-2 in their 5th-6th placing match
in five innings.
Today’s Results:
Indonesia 4 Thailand 3
