Women’s Asia Cup 2024: Match 3 – Malaysia vs Thailand – Thailand Win The Toss, Opt To Bat First

Women’s Asia Cup 2024: Malaysia will take on Thailand in the third game of the ACC Women’s Asia Cup 2024 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka on Saturday, July 20. Both Malaysia and Thailand would be looking to make a strong mark in their opener in Group B.

This will be Malaysia’s third successive Women’s Asia Cup and they will be looking to build upon a sixth-placed finish in 2018 and a seventh-place finish in 2022. Opening batter Winifred Duraisingam will captain the side in this tournament. The Malaysians have triumphed in four of their most recent five encounters. Notably, Malaysia lost in the final of the Asian Cricket Council Women’s Premier Cup, where they were defeated by UAE Women. The team will aim to have a strong start with a win in this fixture.

On the other hand, after going all the way to the semi-final in the 2022 Asia Cup, Thailand will have more expectations on their shoulders than ever before in this competition. The 2024 Women’s Asia Cup is their fifth successive appearance in the tournament. The appointment of 20-year-old Thipatcha Putthawong as captain signifies their long-term vision for building a strong team. The Thais have managed to secure victory in only two of their last five matches. They will look to start this tournament on a positive note by winning this game.
