The 3rd match of the SEA Games Women’s T20 2025‑26 pits Indonesia Women against the Philippines Women at the Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok on December 16, with conditions set to reward disciplined new ball bowling and batters who can adjust as the surface slows. A warm, humid but largely dry forecast should allow a full game, keeping both teams’ spin and change of pace options firmly in play.

Players to watch out:
Maria Corazon
Top‑order batter Maria Corazon remains Indonesia’s primary aggressor, now with 729 T20I runs from 37 matches at a healthy strike rate around 114 and the highest score of 74*. Her handy seam up options, including best figures of 3/10 for four career wickets, add extra value, and she comes into this clash buoyed by a recent 51 against Malaysia that underlined her ability to change games in the powerplay.
Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini
Wicketkeeper batter Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini is Indonesia’s anchor, compiling 1,145 runs in 54 T20Is with the best of 95* at a strike rate near 90. Her experience and calm presence through the middle overs will be crucial on a surface that slows, where her ability to rotate strike, marshal lower order partners and maintain tidy glovework against spin could define Indonesia’s performance.
Simran Sirah
For the Philippines, 25-year-old Simran Sirah shapes as a genuine all-round threat, offering right hand batting and right arm medium pace tailor made for conditions that reward accuracy and discipline. Across 17 T20Is she has best figures of 1/15 and an economy rate of 8.00, indicating a knack for regular breakthroughs even if often used in short bursts.
Karri Gulem Keen
Karri, 21, brings further new ball and middle overs control with right arm medium pace that aligns well with the Terdthai surface as it begins to grip. In 16 T20Is she has 20 wickets, a best of 3/4 and an impressive economy of 5.35, suggesting she can both choke the scoring rate and strike in clusters, making her central to the Philippines’ plans with the ball.
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:
Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini, Maria Corazon, Ni Luh Dewi, Alex Smith, Kisi Kasse, Ni Wayan Sariani, Karri Gulem Keen, Desi Wulandari, Jhon Andreano, Ni Made Putri Suwandewi, Rahmawati Pangestuti
