MAL-W Team News
This will be Malaysia Women’s third successive Women’s Asia Cup and they will be looking to build upon a sixth placed finish in 2018 and a seventh place finish in 2022. Opening batter Winifred Duraisingam will captain the side in this tournament.
MAL-W Team Batting
We expect Malaysia Women’s standout batters to be Elsa Hunter at number three, Mas Elysa batting lower down in the order and skipper Winifred Duraisingam. There will not be much depth in the batting line-up and we are not anticipating many runs from number seven and below.

With a strike-rate of 17.8 in WT20Is we would be very surprised if Mahirah Izzati Ismail did not get through her full allocation of four overs and we expect her off-spin to be accurate. Ainna Hamizah Hashim will look to utilise variations as well as her natural pace.
MAL-W Team Form
Malaysia Women won four matches in a row in this format before losing their last WT20I by 37 runs.

THAI-W Team News
After going all the way to the semi-final in the 2022 Women’s Asia Cup, Thailand Women will have more expectation on their shoulders than ever before in this competition. The 2024 Women’s Asia Cup is their fifth successive appearance in the tournament.
THAI-W Team Batting
Keeper-batter Nannapat Koncharoenkai and middle order batter Suwanan Khiaoto are two of Thailand Women’s best batters and there will be pressure on them to deliver in this campaign. Against Malaysia Women, this could be an excellent opportunity to find some early form.
THAI-W Team Bowling
With the ball, Thailand Women will be looking to 31 year old medium pacer Chanida Sutthiruang and young slow left-arm spinner Thipatcha Putthawong. Although Sutthiruang will likely be used in a defensive manner, Putthawong will be expected to pick up wickets.
THAI-W Team Form
Thailand Women have been beaten in three of their last five WT20Is.
THAI Women Predicted Playing 11
Nattaya Boochatham, Nannapat Koncharoenkai (wk), Naruemol Chaiwai, Chanida Sutthiruang, Phannita Maya, Suleeporn Laomi, Suwanan Khiaoto, Rosenan Kanoh, Chanida Sutthiruang (c), Onnicha Kamchomphu, Thipatcha Putthawong
🏆 MAL Women vs THAI Women Prediction
It will take a very good effort from Thailand Women if they are to replicate their semi-final finish in this year’s tournament but we still expect them to get off to a winning start. Malaysia Women do not have the same wicket taking options so we are backing Thailand Women to win.
