India’s women’s cricket team will face Thailand in their opening match of the Women’s Asia Cup 2026. The Group A clash is scheduled to take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday (August 30), and the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will be keen to begin their campaign with a big win.
Thailand, on the other hand, have already played one match in this year’s tournament. They defeated Indonesia by six runs on Friday (August 28) and will like to secure another win.
The Indian team management will have high expectations from Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur and Shafali Verma in the batting department, while the bowling attack will be led by Deepti Sharma, Sree Charani and Kranti Gaud.
Deepti is the second-highest wicket-taker in women’s
T20I cricket, while Charani is the No. 1-ranked bowler in the ICC Women’s T20I rankings.
For Thailand, much will depend on Thipatcha Putthawong, who holds the record for the most wickets in women’s international T20 cricket.
