Team Previews
Ireland Women Preview
Ireland Women come into this match after a closely fought encounter against Bangladesh Women, the table-toppers, where they lost by just 2 wickets with eight balls remaining. That performance highlighted the team’s growing confidence and ability to compete with top sides.
In that match, the bowlers stood out—every bowler in the attack managed to take a wicket, showing that Ireland has depth and variation in their bowling. With the bat, Laura Delany top-scored with a fluent 63 off 75 balls, while Orla Prendergast added a solid 41 off 64 balls, building a steady platform.
Although Gaby Lewis, the captain and one of Ireland’s key batters, hasn’t fired yet, her class is undoubted. With some quality players in form and their collective performances improving, Ireland Women look like a strong unit ready to notch up their next win.
Thailand Women Preview
Thailand Women suffered a 58-run defeat in their last outing against Scotland Women, getting bowled out for 148 while chasing 207. Despite the result, there were some bright spots, particularly Natthakan Chantham, who scored a brilliant 63 and was the standout performer for her side, both in shot-making and intent.
Thailand’s bowling unit is heavily reliant on their spin attack. Onnicha Kamchomphu and Thipatcha Putthawong took 3 wickets each in the previous match and are expected to play a crucial role again, especially on a turning Lahore pitch.
However, the lack of support around Chantham with the bat continues to haunt Thailand. Unless their top and middle-order can put up a fight and back their bowlers, it will be difficult to pull off a win against an improving Irish side.
