Women's Asia Cup 2026: Match 5, PAK W vs THA W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Pakistan Women vs Thailand Women?

Pakistan Women (PAK W) square off against Thailand Women (THA W) in match No. 5 of the Women's Asia Cup 2026 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, September 1.

Fatima Sana will be leading a young and talented Pakistan side at the continental event. The Women in Green would want to get their campaign off to a solid start.

Thailand, on the other hand, started their campaign with a thrilling six-run victory against Hong Kong and China. However, they were handed a thrashing by India in their subsequent fixture.

The Women in Blue were restricted to 159/9 as the Thailand bowlers did a decent job. However, the Indian bowling attack was too skillful for the opposition batters. Thailand were eventually bowled out for 65 in 16.1 overs. They would want to put up a better batting performance on Tuesday.

From the first four matches in the tournament, the average first-innings total has been around 122. The best time to bat is inside the powerplay when the ball is new. The highest first-innings score has been 159/9. It will be important for batters who get starts to convert them into substantial scores.

Muneeba Ali (WK), Shawaal Zulfiqar, Eman Naseer, Ayesha Zafar, Sadaf Shamas, Fatima Sana (C), Umm-e-Hani, Waheeda Akhtar, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal, Momina Riasat.

Chantam, Nannapat Koncharoenkai (WK), Chanida Sutthiruang, Naomi Hamilton, Onnicha Kamchomphu, Thipatcha Putthawong (C), Phannita Maya, Nannaphat Chaihan, Suleeporn Laomi, Aphisara Suwanchonrathi, Sunida Chaturongrattana.

Shawaal Zulfiqar, the 21-year-old, batter finished as the leading run-getter in the recent three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. In three games, she amassed 132 runs at a strike rate of 150, finishing as the highest run-getter.

Fatima Sana would be one of the bowlers to watch out for in the Women's Asia Cup 2026. She will be quite a handful with the new ball. Thailand batters should look to see out her overs and try and target the other bowlers in the Pakistan line-up.
