THA-W vs ZIM-W Match Prediction & Analysis

Zimbabwe Women will take on Thailand Women in the 6th match of the Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier 2026 group B match. The match will take place at the Mulpani Cricket Ground in Kathmandu on Tuesday, January 20.

Thailand Women are in excellent form, having won all their last five matches, including a convincing 8-wicket victory over Nepal in their first match of the tournament. They successfully chased down 123 runs against the hosts. Their form makes them one of the favorites to push for a World Cup spot.

Zimbabwe Women, led by the experienced captain Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, had an up-and-down form in their recent matches. And it's not been a great start to the qualifiers either having suffered a loss to Netherlands. They were all out for 100 runs while chasing 123 runs. They will need a big improvement to stay in contention.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Thailand Women Preview

Thailand Women are in sensational form heading into the Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier 2026, entering Group B with a blazing run of momentum. They have already started the campaign strong winning by 8 wickets vs Nepal Women in their opening match of the tournament.

Captain Naruemol Chaiwai leads a confident batting unit. Opener Natthakan Chantham starred against Nepal with an excellent inning of 57 runs off 39 balls at a strike rate of 146.15. Nannapat Koncharoenkai supported with 32 runs, while Aphisara Suwanchonrathi added a quick 28 runs to seal the victory for the Thai.

Earlier, the bowlers gave Thailand a flying start by bundling Nepal out for 122. Spinner Thipatcha Putthawong was outstanding with 4/27 in her four overs, and Onnicha Kamchomphu chipped in with 2 wickets too.

Thailand Women Predicted Playing XI:

Natthakan Chantham, Aphisara Suwanchonrathi, Nannapat Koncharoenkai, Suwanan Khiaoto (WK), Naruemol Chaiwai (C), Chanida Sutthiruang, Suleeporn Laomi, Onnicha Kamchomphu, Thipatcha Putthawong, Phannita Maya, Sunida Chaturongrattana.

Zimbabwe Women Preview

Zimbabwe Women head into the Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier 2026 with a strong desire to secure their first-ever spot at the main event. They've shown mixed recent form in their last five T20Is. And it's not been a great start to the tournament, as Zimbabwe Women already lost their opening game of the competition against the Netherlands Women.

The top order struggled for the Zimbabwe women, including captain Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, but the lower middle-order provided some relief.

Nyasha Gwanzura top scored with a quick 27 runs off 16 balls at a strike rate of 168.75, while Christabel Chatonzwa and Chiedza Dhururu added useful 15 & 16 runs, respectively. Wicketkeeper batter Modester Mupachikwa also contributed with 12 runs, while no other batters could even cross the double-digit mark.

Zimbabwe's bowling was good, though. Veteran all-rounder Christabel Chatonzwa starred with 5/22 in her four-over spell, dismantling the Dutch middle order. Kudzai Chigora, Josephine Nkomo, Audrey Mazvishaya, and Lindokuhle Mabhero each picked up a wicket as they restricted the Dutch side to 122 runs while bowling first.

Zimbabwe Women Predicted Playing XI:

Kelis Ndhlovu, Beloved Biza, Modester Mupachikwa (WK), Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (C), Nyasha Gwanzura, Christabel Chatonzwa, Josephine Nkomo, Chiedza Dhururu, Audrey Mazvishaya, Kudzai Chigora, Lindokuhle Mabhero.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

According to the weather forecast, bright sunshine is expected during the matchday in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 20. Kathmandu is one of the picturesque cities with not much humidity. The temperature will be high, around 18°C, and could go down to approx 10°C at night. There is a 0% probability of precipitation throughout the day, so expect a completely uninterrupted game.

THA-W vs ZIM-W Pitch Report

The Mulpani Cricket Ground in Kathmandu is a batting paradise. The surface is hard and allows for the bowlers to extract pace and bounce, which makes it easier for the batters to time their shots and play free-flowing cricket. The ground hasn't hosted many matches, and the average first-inning score at this venue in Women's T20S is 151 runs.

Thailand women's team is one of Asia's best, unlike the men's. Their head-to-head matches with Zimbabwe have been competitive. Thailand has slightly better odds for this match. Thailand hasn't lost in 2 months and beat Nepal, the hosts. Thai bowlers suit Nepali conditions. In the final match against Nepal, Thipatcha Puttawong took 4 wickets and Kamchomphu 2. With the bat, they easily chased 123 runs in 16.5 overs and won by 8 wickets. Thailand has outperformed Zimbabwe with bat and ball recently; expect them to keep winning.

Toss: To Bowl

The Mulpani Cricket Ground has only played host to two top-level matches, both of which were played on the opening day of the Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier 2026. And there was a pattern; batting first seemed like the easier pick, while in the second inning, the pitch tends to slow down a bit. The team batting first, in fact, won both the matches played here so far. So expect the captain who wins the toss to opt to bat first and take advantage of the surface at its absolute best at the start of the match.
