Women's Asia Cup 2024: Match 12, SL-W vs THA-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between SL-W vs THA-W?

Sri Lanka (SL-W) are set to face Thailand (THA-W) in Match 12 of the ongoing Women's Asia Cup 2024, at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla, on Wednesday, July 24.

Sri Lanka are all but into the semifinals after winning their first two games against Bangladesh and Malaysia convincingly. They are placed at the top of the points table in Group B, having a healthy net run rate (NRR) of +4.243. The hosts would look to continue their winning momentum on Wednesday.

Thailand are placed at No. 2 on the points table, having beaten Malaysia by 22 runs and lost to Bangladesh by seven wickets. Bangladesh will play Malaysia earlier in the day and a win for Nigar Sultana's side could make things very difficult for Thailand as far as their qualification hopes are concerned. Bangladesh also have one win and one loss from two games.

Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter: Chamari Athapaththu

The talismanic Sri Lankan captain scored an unbeaten 119 off 69 balls against Malaysia in the host's last Women's Asia Cup 2024 fixture. She hit 14 fours and seven sixes during her superlative innings. The southpaw became the first female batter to score a century in the Women's Asia Cup. If Chamari Athapaththu gets going, Thailand bowlers will find it very difficult to stop her.

Probable Best Bowler: Shashini Gimhani

The 15-year-old left-arm wrist-spinner had a fantastic outing against Malaysia in the last game. Her bag of tricks bamboozled the inexperienced Malaysian lineup. Shashini Gimhani finished with excellent figures of 3/9 in four overs. The Thailand batters will have to be very aware of her impressive skillsets.
