Team Previews – Scotland vs Thailand Women
🟣 Scotland Women
Scotland’s batting unit has relied heavily on Kathryn Bryce, both as an all-rounder and a leader. The emergence of young talents like Ailsa Lister and Sarah Bryce offers them depth. Spin will again be central to their bowling strategy, especially with Katherine Fraser in good rhythm.
🔶 Thailand Women
Thailand continue to impress with their disciplined bowling and sharp fielding. Nattaya Boochatham and Chanida Sutthiruang are key to their strategy. Their batting, led by Naruemol Chaiwai, has been consistent, but needs more aggression in the powerplay.
Fantasy Picks – Players to Watch
🔹 Top Batters:
- Kathryn Bryce (SCO) – The mainstay for Scotland with both bat and ball
- Naruemol Chaiwai (THA) – Capable of building innings under pressure
🔹 Bowlers to Watch:
- Katherine Fraser (SCO) – Economical spinner, wicket-taker in middle overs
- Nattaya Boochatham (THA) – Vital with the new ball and a handy batter
🔹 All-Rounders:
- Sarah Bryce (SCO) – Keeps wickets and can provide fantasy bonus points
- Chanida Sutthiruang (THA) – Reliable with the ball and useful with the bat
Predicted Playing XIs
Scotland Women:
Kathryn Bryce (c), Sarah Bryce (wk), Lorna Jack, Abtaha Maqsood, Ailsa Lister, Katherine Fraser, Priyanaz Chatterji, Rachel Slater, Megan McColl, Ellen Watson, Abbi Aitken-Drummond
Thailand Women:
Naruemol Chaiwai (c), Nattaya Boochatham, Chanida Sutthiruang, Rosenan Kanoh, Sornnarin Tippoch, Onnicha Kamchomphu, Thipatcha Putthawong, Nannapat Koncharoenkai (wk), Phannita Maya, Suleeporn Laomi, Soraya Lateh
With conditions suiting spin and both sides possessing quality tweakers, it’s likely to be a low-scoring affair. Scotland’s recent improvements give them a slight edge, but Thailand’s discipline could prove decisive if they bowl first.
Prediction: A close contest – edge to Thailand Women if they bowl second.
