Women’s Asia Cup 2024: Bangladesh will lock horns with Thailand in the eighth fixture of the ACC Women’s T20 Asia Cup 2024 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka on Monday, July 22. Bangladesh and Thailand are coming on the back of contrasting fortunes. While Bangladesh lost to Sri Lanka in their previous game, Thailand defeated Malaysia.
Bangladesh were handed a hefty defeat by Sri Lanka in their first game as they lost by seven wickets. They are in dire need of a victory and a win against Thailand will keep their playoff hopes alive. In their opening match, Nigar Sultana showed excellent form with the bat and scored an unbeaten 48 off 59 balls. Besides her, Shorna Akter also played a decent knock. In bowling, Nahida Akter bowled exceedingly well for Bangladesh. Skipper Nigar Sultana will be hoping that the side can make a strong comeback in this fixture.
On the other hand, Thailand managed to win their first game against Malaysia by 22 runs and are leading Group B owing to their superior Net Run Rate. In the previous match, wicketkeeper Nannapat Koncharoenkai played well and finished the innings with the top score of 40 runs off 35 balls. She was well supported by Phannita Maya, who scored 29 runs off 28 balls.
Meanwhile, in bowling, Onnicha Kamchomphu was the pick of the bowlers for Thailand. If Thailand manages to sneak in a win against Bangladesh in this game, they will have their one-foot firm in the playoff.
