TEAMS PREVIEW

Samoa Women Preview

Samoa Women are coming on the back off a disappointing 27-run defeat against Malaysia Women at Kolej Tunku Jaafar in their last match.  Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Samoa struggled to contain the opposition batters. 

While Verra Farane (1/22) and captain Regina Sela Monika Lili'i (1/32) managed to take a wicket each, the bowling unit conceded too many extras and failed to stop Ainna Hamizah Hashim, who guided Malaysia to a strong total of 151/2.

In response, Samoa's chase suffered an early collapse, slipping to 11/3 within the first four overs. They soon found themselves in deeper trouble at 51/5. Lili'i (40*) and Tuaoloa Helen Semau (38*) put up a solid, unbeaten fightback in the middle overs, but the required run rate proved far too steep, leaving Samoa stranded on 124/5 at the end of their 20 overs.

Samoa Women Predicted Playing XI:

Mia Caroline Hedge, Verra Farane, Olive Lefaga Lemoe, Regina Sela Monika Lili'i, Taalili Iosefo, Norah Jade Marissa Salima, Tuaoloa Helen Semau, Kiri Ana Morgan, Seuga Lipine, Hepilizzity Toetu, Caroline Hujinyu Shijia Hu

Indonesia Women Preview

Indonesia Women's poor run of form in the Tri Series continues as they suffered a 16-run defeat against Malaysia Women at the Selangor Turf Club in their previous outing. 

Bowling first, Indonesia produced a disciplined effort to restrict Malaysia to a modest 102/7. Ni Komang Sukmayanthi led the attack with fine figures of 2/11, while Ni Kadek Dwi Aprillia Putri (1/15), Derni Rambu Bangi (1/13), and Anace Elna Elizabeth (1/9) picked up a wicket each alongside two sharp run-outs to keep the scoring in check.

However, their batting unit struggled in the run chase. Despite starts from Kadek Winda Prastini (19), Kisi Salisa Kasse (17), and Ni Kadek Dwi Aprillia Putri (15), Indonesia collapsed against Suabika Manivannan's 4/19. 

Unable to build momentum, they finished on 86/9. This marks the second consecutive loss for Indonesia Women as they remain winless and look to get their first win of the series in their next match.

Indonesia Women Predicted Playing XI:

Ni Putu Elyn Novita, Kadek Winda Prastini, Hilva Nuraulia Siami Lukman, Kisi Salisa Kasse, Ni Kadek Dwi Aprillia Putri, Anace Elna Elizabeth, Lie Qiao, Ni Komang Sukmayanthi, Derni Rambu Bangi, Riska Indah Agustina, Intan Berlian
