West Indies Women – Team Preview
West Indies Women are coming off a morale-boosting win over Bangladesh, where they chased down a stiff target of 228 runs with composure. Chinelle Henry stood tall with a composed half-century, while Hayley Matthews, Stafanie Taylor, and Shemaine Campbelle played crucial cameos to build momentum.
With the ball, West Indies showed why they are tournament favourites. Aaliyah Alleyne was the pick of the bowlers with 4 for 39, while Matthews and Afy Fletcher scalped two each. The team bowled with control and aggression, ensuring Bangladesh didn’t run away with the game.
The return to form for their senior pros is a big plus as the Caribbean side eyes qualification. Their explosive batting lineup, paired with a disciplined bowling attack, makes them a formidable opponent for any team in the qualifiers.
Thailand Women – Team Preview
Thailand Women have had a difficult tournament so far. Their batting has failed to click as a unit, as seen in their previous match where they were bowled out for just 118 runs. While Nannapat Koncharoenkai top-scored with a mere 19, batters like Chantham, Chaiwai, and Maya have only shown flashes of promise.
On the bowling front, Thailand did well to restrict Pakistan Women to 205/6. Thipatcha Putthawong took 2 wickets, while Kamchomphu and Chaturongrattana bowled economically. Despite the loss, their bowling showed potential and will be crucial against a power-packed West Indies side.
For Thailand to have a fighting chance, their top-order must step up, and bowlers will need to be at their very best.
