PNG-W vs THAW Match Prediction & Analysis

Papua New Guinea Women and Thailand Women will face each other in the 3rd ODI of the Thailand Women tour of Papua New Guinea 2026 at Amini Park, Port Moresby. Thailand have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, after winning the first ODI by 121 runs and the second by 40 runs.

Thailand have dominated the series so far and will now aim to complete a 3-0 whitewash. Papua New Guinea, meanwhile, will be desperate to end the series on a positive note and avoid a clean sweep on home soil.

The recent form slightly favours Papua New Guinea. They have won 2 and lost 3 of their last five matches, while Thailand have won 2 and lost 3 in their last five. However, Thailand's current series form has been much stronger, with two consecutive victories over PNG.

PNG will look to produce a much-improved performance and finish the series with a win, while Thailand will be determined to maintain their momentum and complete a 3-0 series sweep.
