Team Preview – Thailand Women
Thailand Women enter this must-win game with confidence after another dominant display in the tournament. They defeated UAE Women by 54 runs in their last fixture, showcasing both batting depth and disciplined bowling. Naruemol Chaiwai leads a well-rounded side that has been in excellent form over the past year, losing just once in their last 12 months of cricket.
Nattaya Boochatham is their mainstay with the bat, having scored 49 off 48 balls in the last game. She forms a solid opening partnership with Sunida Chaturongrattana. The middle order, led by Natthakan Chantham and Nannapat Koncharoenkai, provides stability, while Suwanan Khiaoto adds firepower towards the end.
Their bowling attack is equally strong. Chanida Sutthiruang and Thipatcha Putthawong offer early breakthroughs with the new ball, while Phannita Maya and Onnicha Kamchomphu control the middle overs. Sunida Chaturongrattana also contributes with tight spells.
With home advantage and an unbeaten head-to-head record against Nepal, Thailand are firm favorites to continue their dominance and seal a vital win in this qualifier.
Team Preview – Nepal Women
Nepal Women showed resilience in their last match, overcoming UAE Women by 5 wickets despite a shaky chase. Samjhana Khadka remains their most consistent batter, supported by Indu Barma and Rubina Chhetry. Rajmati Airee provides a steady presence at the top, while Kabita Kunwar and Puja Mahato aim to build partnerships in the middle overs.
The lower-middle order, featuring Rubi Poddar and Bindu Rawal, offers some hitting ability, though they need to be more impactful under pressure. Nepal’s batting will be tested against Thailand’s clinical bowling lineup.
In bowling, Manisha Upadhayay was the standout performer in the last match, taking 4 wickets. Sabnam Rai and Riya Sharma struggled with line and length at times but remain key to the attack. Indu Barma and Rajmati Airee provide part-time support.
Despite never having beaten Thailand in previous meetings, Nepal will be determined to put up a competitive performance. Their fielding and composure in tight finishes could play a big role in this high-stakes clash.
