The stage is set for a thrilling new chapter in women’s cricket as the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier 2025 gets underway in the vibrant heart of Bangkok.
From 9th May, the Terdthai Cricket Ground will play host to Asia’s brightest talents, with the tournament opener featuring a compelling clash between hosts Thailand – historic champions and trailblazers of the women’s game, and a spirited Kuwait side eager to make their mark on the international stage.
This Asia Qualifier is far more than a regional contest; it’s a high-stakes gateway to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 in England. With nine teams divided into three groups and a double round-robin format, only the very best will advance to the Super 3 stage and, ultimately, earn a coveted spot in the global qualifier. For every player, every run, and every wicket, the stakes couldn’t be higher, this is where years of dedication, investment, and ambition converge.
Thailand, buoyed by home support and a legacy of success, will look to assert their dominance from the outset. But Kuwait’s dynamic squad arrives with fresh energy and the hunger to upset the established order, promising a contest rich in skill and passion. As the first ball is bowled, this match will not only ignite the tournament but also shine a spotlight on the rapid growth and rising standards of women’s cricket across Asia.
Head-to-Head:
The hosts, Thailand, have a strong and impeccable head-to-head record against the Amna Tariq-led side, winning three out of four games and a washed-out game in the T20I format so far. Both sides would be keen to add those match-up figures in their favour in this particular contest.
