UAE Women Team News & Playing 11
UAE-W Team News
Although they won only one match, the 2022 Women’s Asia Cup was UAE Women’s first and they did not finish bottom of the table! Since then, they have developed and continued to improve and they will be confident of matching their victory from 2022 in this opening fixture.
UAE-W Team Batting
There is talent throughout the UAE Women’s batting line-up but the opening pair, captain Esha Oza and keeper-batter Theertha Satish, are particularly crucial for the team. Alongside them. Kavisha Egodage is an exciting young all-rounder and we expect her to play in an aggressive fashion.
UAE-W Team Bowling
Skipper Oza is likely to give herself at least three overs in this match as her off-spin is very accurate and has yielded 56 WT20I wickets across her career. Even on a slow surface, we expect 17 year old leg-spinner Vaishnave Mahesh to be a real threat against Nepal Women.
UAE-W Team Form
UAE Women were beaten in their last WT20I but beat Netherlands Women and Vanuatu Women in the two previous matches.
UAE Women Predicted Playing 11
Esha Oza (c), Theertha Satish (wk), Khushi Sharma, Kavisha Egodage, Heena Hotchandani, Rinitha Rajith, Samaira Dharnidharka, Vaishnave Mahesh, Lavanya Keny, Mehak Thakur, Indhuja Nandakumar
NEP Women Team News & Playing 11
NEP-W Team News
This will only be Nepal Women’s third appearance at a Women’s Asia Cup and their first since the 2016 tournament in Thailand where they finished sixth. Captained by Indu Barma, they have been drawn in the tougher group alongside India Women and Pakistan Women.
NEP-W Team Batting
Although most of the players have not played at this tournament before, or not for eight years, Nepal Women have put together a strong squad for the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup. Captain Indu Barma, opener Sita Rana Magar and Rubina Chhetry are likely to be their strongest batters.
NEP-W Team Bowling
Sita Rana Magar and Rubina Chhetry are also two of Nepal Women’s best bowling options but do not be surprised if 18 year old right-arm medium pacer Puja Mahato also impresses in this game as she had a strong Asian Cricket Council Women’s Premier Cup earlier this year.
NEP-W Team Form
Nepal Women won four successive WT20I games before losing their last match to Malaysia Women.
NEP Women Predicted Playing 11
Kabita Kunwar, Sita Rana Magar, Indu Barma (c), Rubina Chhetry, Dolly Bhatta, Kabita Joshi, Kajal Shrestha (wk), Puja Mahato, Bindu Rawal, Sangita Rai, Roma Thapa
🏆 UAE Women vs NEP Women Prediction
There will be plenty of attention on this game as the opening match of the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup and it should provide an opportunity for some relatively unknown players to enjoy the spotlight. We are predicting a close contest but UAE Women have been more successful over recent years and we are backing them to win this match.
