HKG-W vs BHN-W Match Prediction & Analysis
The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifier has got off to an exciting start and so far in Group C it is Hong Kong Women and Bahrain Women who have made the slower starts.
Nepal sit at the top of the table after beating Bahrain Women on Saturday following the abandonment of their opener against Hong Kong Women on Friday.
So Hong Kong Women and Bahrain Women will both go in search of their first win in this match and with the knowledge that they will be very close to Nepal at the summit of Group C if they do pick up the victory.
The Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok will produce a lush green outfield for this match with the ball running away quickly to the boundary but do not be surprised if there are a few demons in the pitch for the batters to contend with!
TEAMS PREVIEW
Hong Kong Women Preview
After the abandonment of their first fixture against Nepal Women without a ball bowled, Hong Kong Women should have a fresh bowling and batting line-up full of hunger ahead of this game.
Opener Shanzeen Shahzad comes into the match in strong form after hitting 53 runs from 47 balls against Kuwait Women in their last game and Yasmin Daswani also impressed with 40 not out from 31 balls at number five.
Captain Natasha Miles is another consistent batter and the experienced right-hander will open the innings.
With the ball, Shing Chan (3/13) and Ruchitha Venkatesh (2/22) were the most potent against Kuwait Women although Kary Chan is very accurate and will be tough to hit out of the attack in this fixture.
Bahrain Women Preview
Although Bahrain Women were beaten by Nepal Women in their opening game of Group C in Bangkok, it was a much-reduced match with both teams given just five overs each per innings.
And Bahrain Women produced 41/1 from their five overs, not a bad total, and if they can maintain that run-rate (8.20) in this game then they will certainly be competitive!
Captain Deepika Rasangika will be the main threat for Bahrain Women with the bat and she comes into the game after hitting 34 not out from 13 balls to finish with a strike-rate of 216.53.
With the ball, the opening pair of Sadamali Bhakshala and Tharanga Gajanayake are both strong players at this level with Pavithra Shetty a consistent performer.
Weather Conditions
It could be another shortened game in Bangkok on Monday with high humidity and scattered thunderstorms in the forecast. The temperature will be in the high twenties throughout.
HKG-W vs BHN-W Pitch Report
This is a small ground with a quick outfield so any ball which gets off the square is likely to race to the boundary or over the fence! The pitch will provide assistance to the bowlers so a par first innings total will be no higher than 145-150.
Toss: To Bowl
The conditions are unlikely to change much from innings to innings in this game and we predict that both captains will go out for the toss wanting to bowl first on Monday.
