thaiw vs zimw Match Prediction & Analysis

We are into the third game of the four-match T20 series between Thailand Women and Zimbabwe Women and expect a thrilling finish. Hosts Thailand Women won the last game by 5 wickets to level the series after losing in the first game. Both sides have had their hits and miss in the two games. We expect a close contest as they look for a win.  

Apart from the win in the first T20, Zimbabwe Women have had a poor tour. They lost all the ODI games and have been plagued by inconsistent batting. Thailand has been the better of the two sides. They know these conditions well, and they shall look to take advantage of it. Given the competition that we have seen in the two games, we expect this one to go down the wire.

Naruemol Chaiwai's side had an excellent show in the last game with the bat and the ball.

Zimbabwe Women Preview

Mary-Anne Musonda's team has been inconsistent during this tour, and they paid the price in the last game. The side had started the innings well, but a batting collapse put them out of the contest.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be clear skies over Bangkok on April 28. We expect challenging batting conditions as the wicket has uneven bounce and pace. Bowlers have done well in this series, while batters have struggled. The side batting first in this game would feel happy with 150 runs on the board. 

Venue Details

Terdthai Cricket Ground, Bangkok, has always been a challenging wicket for the batters. The ball stops on them and creates doubts in their minds. There isn't much on this wicket for the fast bowlers, but the spinners have done well as the ball grips the surface. Batters who play straight have done well at this venue.

Toss: To Bat

The wicket was tough to bat on as the game progressed. It is getting slower and lower in the second innings and assisting the bowlers. Both captains shall have this on their minds. The side winning the toss should bat first.
