\"\"\"\"<\/a>The Japanese spinners played a key role, alongside some stunning fielding, as Thailand were beaten by 61-runs<\/a> in Sano on day two of the Men’s Sano International Tri Series.<\/p>\n

Having won the toss and opted to bat Japan were restricted to 110 for nine by some accurate Thai bowling, particularly left-arm spinner Nopphon Senamontree who took three for 19 from his four overs.<\/p>\n

However, spinners accounted for six of the first eight wickets to fall as five different bowlers chipped in with wickets.<\/p>\n

It was seam that started things off, as Shoma Sugaya-Slater made the breakthrough in his first over on debut, thanks to a stunning run-and-dive from Benjamin Ito-Davis.<\/p>\n

Ito-Davis then hit the stumps directly to earn a run-out in the next over before Declan Suzuki (on as Ito-Davis got patched up following his acrobatics in the field) took another sharp catch to dismiss captain Austin Lazarus.<\/p>\n

The procession continued as Japan took all ten Thai wickets for just 49 runs inside 15 overs to ultimately earn a comfortable win.<\/p>\n

Sabaorish Ravichandran earned the MVP award after top scoring with 24 (27) and collecting two for 11 in his three overs with the ball.<\/p>\n

Japan play Cook Islands tomorrow afternoon, following a repeat of the tournament’s first match in the morning as Thailand look for their first win.<\/p>\n
