Women’s Twenty20 Asia Cup
Thailand 2016
Pakistan Women vs Thailand Women
Match scheduled to begin at 14:00 local time (07:00 GMT | 12:00 PST | 12:30 IST | 13:00 BST)
The second ranked women’s team in Asia, Pakistan finished seventh in the ICC Women’s Championship and the team has benefitted greatly from playing regular competitive cricket over the last two years. The team has recently played a five match ODI series in New Zealand and their tour ended with a T20 International. Pakistan’s best performance in the Asia Cup came in the T20 version in 2012 when they lost in the final to India, and they showed what a dangerous side they can be by defeating India during the ICC Women’s World T20 in March 2016.
Hosts Thailand confirmed their reputation as the leading side in mainstream ACC women’s tournaments by winning the last two competitions to give them a prized place in the last two ICC Women’s World T20 Qualifiers. Thailand were outstanding in Ireland in 2013 where they won the Shield competition but could not repeat the feat on home soil two years later. With a stronger side now available, the Thailand girls were back to their best in October as they won the ICC Asia World Cup Qualifier in Hong Kong to reach the main Women’s World Cup Qualifying event which will be held in Sri Lanka in February 2017. The Asia Cup will give the hosts the chance to gain more experience against other teams they will face in Colombo as Thailand look for a historic first win against a major women’s nation.
