Women’s Twenty20 Internationals

Match scheduled to begin at 10:00 local time (03:00 GMT | 08:00 PST | 08:30 IST | 09:00 BDT)

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.

Ranked just outside the top eight in women’s cricket, Bangladesh have never qualified for the Women’s World Cup in 50-over format, but they been more successful in the Women’s World T20 as they won two matches out of four in 2014 when they hosted the event. Bangladesh visited Thailand last year to play in the ICC Women’s World T20 Qualifier and won their first four matches to qualify for the main event in India. They were just defeated by Ireland in the final in an exciting last ball finish.
