Players to watch out:
Maria Corazon
Maria Corazon, a dynamic right hand top order batter, boasts 678 runs across 36 T20Is at a strike rate of 113, with the highest of 74*. She has also snared 4 wickets, her best figures 3/10, making her a genuine X-factor capable of explosive starts or handy breakthroughs.
Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini
Wicketkeeper-batter Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini anchors Indonesia with 1,142 runs in 53 T20Is, her top score 95* at a strike rate of 90. Her glovework and middle order stability will prove vital in stabilizing innings or accelerating chases against Malaysia’s bowling attack.
Winifred Duraisingam
Veteran all-rounder Winifred Duraisingam has amassed 1,179 runs in 78 T20Is at a strike rate of 69, alongside 55 wickets with best figures of 3/9. Her highest of 73 and ability to control the overs position her as Malaysia’s match winner in tight contests.
Nur Arianna Natsya
Slow left arm orthodox all-rounder Nur Arianna Natsya offers control with 29 wickets in 60 T20Is, her best 3/25 at an economy of 5.20. A right-hand batter who thrives as the pitch slows, she could dictate proceedings and restrict Indonesia’s scoring in the death overs.
Pitch:
The Asian Institute of Technology Ground in Bangkok generally provides a balanced turf surface with consistent bounce that allows batters to play their shots once set, without being entirely batter friendly. Early in the innings, medium pacers and quicks can extract decent carry and seam movement, with spinners later coming into play.
Weather:
Conditions are expected to be warm and clear, with temperatures ranging between 24°C and 33°C, humidity around 56%, and only about a 7% chance of precipitation, accompanied by gentle winds near 8 km/h.
Fantasy Playing XI:
Maria Corazon, Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini, Winifred Duraisingam, Nur Arianna Natsya, Ni Luh Dewi, Mas Elysa, Nur Dania Syuhada, Sang Maypriani, Lie Qiao, Emily Sirs, Ni Wayan Sariani
