Chasing a modest target, China’s openers sealed the result with ease. Skipper Cai Yuzhi capped her all-round display with 19 off 30 balls*, while Jiaping Li added 21*. With 25 extras gifted by Mongolia, China reached the target in just 10 overs without losing a wicket.

As the tournament unfolds, the focus will be on whether these dominant sides can sustain momentum and how the developing nations adapt to top-level T20 competition.
