Matches played: 5 | Thailand Women won: 5 | Hong Kong, China Women won: 0
The surface at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is expected to provide a reasonably balanced contest between bat and ball. The pitch generally offers good pace and bounce early on, allowing batters who spend some time at the crease to play their strokes with confidence. Fast bowlers could find some assistance with the new ball, particularly if they maintain disciplined lengths and make use of any movement available early in the innings. As the match progresses, however, the surface can become more favourable for batting, with well-set players capable of scoring freely. With an average first-innings score of around 148, a total in the 150-160 range could give the team batting first a competitive chance. Captains may prefer to bowl first if conditions remain suitable for chasing under the lights.
Thailand Women: Naruemol Chaiwai (c), Phannita Maya, Aphisara Suwanchonrathi, Nannapat Koncharoenkai (wk), Chanida Sutthiruang, Nannaphat Chaihan, Chayanisa Phengpaen, Onnicha Kamchomphu, Suleeporn Laomi, Sunida Chaturongrattana, Thipatcha Putthawong, Nattakan Chantam, Koranit Suwanchonrathi, Thanrada Seesawan, Naomi Hamilton
Hong Kong, China Women: Natasha Miles (c), Mariko Hill, Yasmin Daswani (wk), Maryam Bibi, Kary Chan, Marina Lamplough, Alison Siu, Iqra Sahar, Joyleen Kaur, Shanzeen Shahzad, Ruchitha Venkatesh, Charlotte Chan, Shing Chan Dorothea, Kaur Mahekdeep, Hailey Wong
