Thailand Women take on Singapore Women in the 4th match of the SEA Games Women’s T20 2025 at the balanced Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok on December 16, with the hosts aiming to build on their strong campaign. Singapore arrives with a developing but versatile squad, looking to punch above their weight against Thailand’s settled core in conditions that gradually tilt towards spin.
Squads:
Thailand Women’s Cricket Team
Nattaya Boochatham, Nannaphat Chaihan, Naruemol Chaiwai, Natthakan Chantham, Sunida Chaturongrattana, Onnicha Kamchomphu, Rosenanee Kanoh, Nannapat Koncharoenkai, Suleeporn Laomi, Phannita Maya, Chayanisa Phengpaen, Thipatcha Putthawong, Onauma Senanok, Aphisara Suwanchonrathi, Chanida Sutthiruang
Singapore Women’s Cricket Team
Ananya Sarma, Jenissa Jain, Kamal Raja, Sara Merican, GK Diviya, Dhavina Haresh Sharma, Laasya Bommareddy, Pushpa Murali, Roma Raval, Roshni Seth, Jacinta Si Ping, Shafina Mahesh (wk), Chathurani Abeyratne, Jocelyn Pooranakaran, Johanna Pooranakaran
Players to watch out:
Naruemol Chaiwai
Naruemol Chaiwai, Thailand’s reliable right‑hand batter, has featured in 115 T20Is and scored over 1,600 runs with the highest of 83* at a strike rate around 78, underlining her value as the side’s anchor. Her ability to bat long, rotate the strike and stabilise the innings makes her pivotal on a pitch that is likely to slow up as the game progresses, especially if early wickets fall or Thailand are chasing a tricky total.
Natthakan Chantham
Natthakan Chantham provides genuine top‑order firepower, having passed 2,100 T20I runs in just over 100 matches at a strike rate of 92, with a top score of 88*. Her strong back‑foot play and capacity to find gaps in the powerplay were evident in the opening match against Malaysia, where she crafted a composed 36*, and she will again be central to Thailand’s plans to seize early momentum before spinners come into play.
Shafina Mahesh
Right‑hand batter, wicketkeeper and right‑arm medium pacer Shafina Mahesh is the heartbeat of Singapore, with 801 runs in 65 T20Is, the highest of 92* and 33 wickets including best figures of 4 for 2. Her dual impact allows Singapore to strengthen both batting and bowling, and her experience will be crucial in marshalling a relatively young side against Thailand’s disciplined spin attack on a surface where change ups and clever angles thrive.
GK Diviya
GK Diviya, a right‑hand batter and right‑arm off‑break bowler, brings balance to the Singapore line‑up with 45 wickets in 60 T20Is and best figures of 3 for 8, alongside useful contributions with the bat. On a wicket expected to take turn later in each innings, her ability to bowl tight lines, vary her flight and attack both edges of the bat make her a genuine threat through the middle overs and a key figure if Singapore are to stifle Thailand’s scoring.
Pitch:
The Terdthai Cricket Ground offers a turf wicket with consistent bounce early on, giving medium pacers and new ball quicks some carry while allowing top‑order batters to trust the bounce and play their strokes once set. As the innings progresses, the pitch generally slows, the ball grips more, and stroke‑making becomes tougher, bringing spinners into play.
Weather:
Conditions are expected to be warm and humid, with temperatures ranging roughly between 24°C and 33°C and humidity close to 68%, but with only around a 4% chance of precipitation and negligible wind near 0 km/h.
Fantasy Playing XI:
Naruemol Chaiwai, Natthakan Chantham, Nattaya Boochatham, Chanida Sutthiruang, Thipatcha Putthawong, Onnicha Kamchomphu, Shafina Mahesh, GK Diviya, Dhavina Haresh Sharma, Suleeporn Laomi, Roma Raval
