Scotland Women vs Thailand Women, IWCWCQ, Today Match Prediction 13 April 2025

SCT-W vs THA-W Match Prediction & Analysis

ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025 is underway in Pakistan. The host team is the toughest of the lot followed by a promising Scotland side. Scotland Women have already beaten West Indies and lost their second match to the hosts after a poor batting performance.

Thailand aren’t as strong as other sides in this tournament and will face a tough challenge against every single team. They already lost by a huge margin against Bangladesh Women after being bowled out for 93 runs. Scotland struggled with the bat against Pakistan and will be looking to bounce back against a relatively easier opposition.

Thailand’s biggest challenge with be with the bat as they face a tough bowling attack of Scotland. Their bowlers also need to deliver timely breakthroughs so they don’t concede as big a total as they did in their last match. It will take an inspired performance from both batters and bowlers for Thailand to come on top.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Scotland Women Preview

Scotland Women had issues with their batting from the get-go. They finished with just 244 runs on the board while batting first in their opening game against West Indies.

Skipper Kathryn Bryce, who was out cheaply at number 3, bounced back with a 91-run knock against Pakistan. Opening batter Abbi Aitken has struggled to get going at the top while her opening partner was changed in the second game which yielded no positive result.

A lot depends on the middle order of Kathryn Bryce, Sarah Bryce, and Alisa Lister. Right-arm medium pacer Megan McColl is also pretty handy with the bat lower down the order and has shown her abilities in the opening game with a good 45-run knock at number 6.

In the bowling attack, the skipper leads from the front and is a key wicket-taking bowler to watch out for. She has the support from other consistent wicket-takers like Chloe Abel and Abtaha Maqsood.

Overall, it is a promising squad with some consistent bowlers and though it’s not a great batting lineup, they have some pretty decent options in the top 4 who can lead the side to a competitive total.

Scotland Women Predicted Playing XI:

Abbi Aitken Drummond, Darcey Carter, Kathryn Bryce (c), Sarah Bryce (wk), Ailsa Lister, Megan McColl, Katherine Fraser, Priyanaz Chatterji, Chloe Abel, Hannah Rainey, Abtaha Maqsood

Scotland Women Actual Playing XI:

Pippa Sproul, Abbi Aitken Drummond, Kathryn Bryce, Megan McColl, Katherine Fraser, Priyanaz Chatterji, Ailsa Lister, Sarah Bryce, Abtaha Maqsood, Hannah Rainey, Rachel Slater

Thailand Women Preview

Thailand Women will be on the back foot going into this match after a poor start to the tournament. After opting to bowl first, Thailand conceded 271 runs for 3 wickets. Phannita Maya, Thipatcha Putthawong, and Onnicha Kamchomphu bagged a wicket each.

Boochatham, who was wicketless in her 10 Overs, was very economical and conceded just 46 runs while Putthawon finished with 1 for 41 from her 10 Overs.

These 4 bowlers will be crucial for Thailand Women as they take on a struggling Scotland side. Skipper Naruemol Chaiwai will be hoping for some early wickets in this game and put the opposition on the back foot.

Phannita Maya had delivered the early breakthrough against Bangladesh but Thailand Women failed to capitalize on that and the opposition built strong partnerships one after another.

There is hope in the bowling attack and plenty of scope for improvement in the batting department. Thailand Women were bowled out for just 93 runs in response to 271 from Bangladesh.

Openers Nattaya Boochatham and Chanida Sutthiruang will need to lay a strong foundation with a solid partnership in the first 10-15 Overs. Natthakan Chantham and skipper Naruemol Chaiwai will play a crucial role in the middle order while wicket-keeper batter Nannapat Koncharoenka holds the key to a comeback after an early wicket at number 3.

Thailand Women Predicted Playing XI:

Aphisara Suwanchonrathi, Nannapat Koncharoenkai (wk), Natthakan Chantham, Naruemol Chaiwai (c), Chanida Sutthiruang, Nattaya Boochatham, Phannita Maya, Thipatcha Putthawong, Sunida Chaturongrattana, Suleeporn Laomi, Onnicha Kamchomphu

Thailand Women Actual Playing XI:

Naruemol Chaiwai, Natthakan Chantham, Chanida Sutthiruang, Nattaya Boochatham, Phannita Maya, Nannapat Khoncharoenkai, Suwanan Khiaoto, Onnicha Kamchomphu, Suleeporn Laomi, Sunida Chaturongrattana, Thipatcha Putthawong

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be sunny in Lahore with a high of 34 degrees Celsius. There are no clouds or rain expected on the match day and we expect a complete and uninterrupted one-day match between the two sides.

SCT-W vs THA-W Pitch Report

It is a pretty decent wicket that has something for everyone. Both batters and bowlers will find some help from this surface and we can expect a close contest between bat and ball. The average 1st innings score in the last 3 one-day matches here is 233 runs. We reckon anything over 245-250 will be a match-winning total on this ground.

Toss: To Bat

Teams batting first have won 2 of the 3 ODIs at this venue so far in the tournament. Thailand Women will be in a better position if they choose to bat first. And Scotland Women will also have a chance to bounce back if they bat first.
