Team Previews
Nepal Women Preview
Nepal Women have shown glimpses of brilliance in the tournament. They currently sit 2nd in Group C with 1 win and 1 loss. Their only defeat came in a rain-curtailed encounter against Hong Kong Women, but they bounced back strongly against Bahrain in a previous match, chasing down 42 in 4.5 overs.
The strength of Nepal lies in its bowling, led by Kabita Kunwar, who’s been impressive with the new ball. Samjana Khadka also plays a key role with the bat at the top of the order. Captain Indu Barma and experienced all-rounder Rubina Chhetry bring depth and stability.
Nepal’s key concern is their middle-order, which hasn’t had enough time in the middle due to short matches and rain. However, with solid all-round balance, they remain favorites heading into this match.
Bahrain Women Preview
Bahrain Women are placed last in the group, having lost to Nepal in their previous full game. However, in that loss, Deepika Rasangika’s explosive 34 off 13 balls showed her match-winning potential. Sadly, the rest of the lineup failed to capitalize on her momentum.
Bahrain lacks bowling penetration, having failed to claim a single wicket in the tournament so far. Their bowling is their biggest weakness, especially on a pitch like Bangkok which requires discipline and accuracy.
Their strategy would be to build around Rasangika and hope for breakthroughs from new-ball bowlers like Poorvaja Jagdeesha and Pavithra Shetty, but unless they improve both departments, they’ll struggle to contain a composed Nepal lineup.

Favorite Team in Today Match – Nepal Women
Nepal Women enter this clash as clear favorites. They have already beaten Bahrain earlier in the competition and boast a well-rounded squad with balance in both batting and bowling. Their top order, including Samjhana Khadka and Rubina Chhetry, is in good touch and has shown composure under pressure. The bowling unit led by Kabita Kunwar is precise and impactful in powerplay overs. Furthermore, Nepal Women’s experience in international fixtures compared to Bahrain gives them the upper hand. Unless Bahrain pulls off something extraordinary with Rasangika’s bat or drastically improves their bowling, Nepal should have enough firepower to register another dominant win.
