Match 16 of Group A in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifier 2025 will see Kuwait Women once again take on the Bhutan Women dated May 16, 2025. It’s been a tough campaign so far for Bhutan, who are yet to register a win in the tournament. In contrast, Kuwait Women have shown glimpses of promise, securing a crucial victory over Bhutan earlier and currently sitting at second place on the Group A points table with 3 points to their name.
Bhutan Women are facing a challenging campaign this season, enduring 2 defeats and a match abandonment. Their opening match Bhutan was abandoned, and in subsequent games against Thailand and Kuwait suffered losses. On the other side, Kuwait Women started with a loss against Thailand but momentarily secured a win in the next match against Bhutan Women. Their subsequent game, scheduled on May 13, against Thailand, was abandoned, but they look promising at the point table with a chance of securing a second win in the upcoming fixture against Bhutan.
Looking at their T20 records, Bhutan Women have played 32 WT20Is, securing 7 wins and facing 25 losses. On the other side, Kuwait women have participated in 52 WT20I matches, achieving 16 victories and 34 defeats.
Head-to-Head:
The two teams have faced the other thrice so far and Kuwait with two wins has a lead over Bhutan. Considering their recent performances as Bhutan is yet to register a win in this tournament, Kuwait appears to have a slight edge in this upcoming matchup. Their recent form suggests they are well-positioned to secure another win.
In their most recent outing, a rain-curtailed 13-over clash during Match 7, Kuwait Women secured a commanding 35-run victory over Bhutan Women. After being put into bat, Kuwait’s top order rose to the occasion making a total of 85. However, Bhutan Women were bowled out for just 50 runs, unable to recover from the early blows.
