BANW vs THAW Team Previews
Bangladesh Women
Bangladesh's start to this year’s Asia Cup hasn’t been perfect as they received a 7-wicket drubbing at the hands of Sri Lanka. This loss has left a big dent in the team’s NRR as well. If Bangladesh loses this match, they will almost certainly fail to make it to the playoffs.
Bangladesh is going through a terrible run and has now lost 9 consecutive matches this year. Nigar Sultana has by far been the best player for the team, and her purple patch with the bat continues. She scored 48 runs in the last match but that wasn’t enough to set a match-winning total on a good batting track.
A lot will depend on the opening pair of Dilara Akter and Ishma Tanjim. Akter is known for her effortless strokeplay and can score briskly during the PowerPlay. Bangladesh also has quite a few all-rounders in the form of Shorna Akter and Shorifa Khatun who add depth to the batting.
The team is likely to opt for a spin-dominant bowling attack in this match. Nahida Akter was in excellent form in the last match as she picked up 3 wickets but she will need better support from the other end.
Bangladesh Women Playing 11
Dilara Akter, Murshida Khatun, Ishma Tanjim, Nigar Sultana, Ritu Moni, Rabeya Khan, Shorna Akter, Rumana Ahmed, Nahida Akter, Marufa Akter, Sabinkun Nahar Jesmin.
Thailand Women
Thailand put up a clinical performance in its opening fixture against Malaysia to register a thumping 22-run win. As a result, they are currently at the top of the Group B table thanks to an excellent NRR.
Led by Nannapat Koncharoenkai, Thailand batters were in excellent form as they posted a competitive total. Despite playing without two of their key players, the team showed great resilience and will hope to do the same in this match as well. Nattaya Boochatham, Thipatcha Putthawong, Phannita Maya, and Chanida Sutthiruang are all decent performers in the middle order and the team will hope that a couple of these players score plenty of runs.
Coming to the bowling, Onnicha Kamchomphu bowled well on Saturday and picked up 2 wickets. She will once again lead the spin attack and will be supported by Suleeporn Laomi and Thipatcha Putthawong, while Chanida Sutthiruang and Phannita Maya will start the proceedings with the new ball.

Pitch and Conditions
The Dambulla Cricket Stadium offers a good batting surface where the average first-inning score is close to 170. The seamers will get some help from the new ball but they will need to hit the right areas to get some seam movement. The pitch is on the dry side and the spinners can expect some turn throughout the match. Since this is a day/night match, we might see some dew in the latter half.
The weather will be warm and humid with temperatures of around 29 degrees.
BANW vs THAW Betting Tips
Bangladesh starts this match as the favorite according to most betting sites and we too feel that they have an edge. While their recent form doesn’t inspire much confidence, they have a stronger squad compared to Malaysia and have a good opportunity to turn things in their favor.
Bet on Bangladesh W to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Bangladesh has a strong bowling attack and has included quite a few spinners in the squad. The likes of Nahida Akter and Rabeya Khan have plenty of experience playing on the big stage and are likely to be quite effective on the spin-friendly surface at Dambulla.
Nannapat Koncharoenkai has scored 182 runs in her last 10 innings at an average of 22.75. She has scored at least 16 runs in 4 of her last 6 innings and we are backing her to do the same here as well.
