Thailand women’s cricket team gear up for their home campaign at the Quadrangular Women’s T20I Series in 2025, aiming to extend their strong run in T20 cricket. Backed by a passionate local crowd, the squad boasts a blend of seasoned performers and determined young players, making them one of the tournament’s most compelling prospects.
The backbone of Thailand’s batting lineup in WT20Is is anchored by two prolific run-scorers, Nannapat Koncharoenkai and Natthakan Chantham. Koncharoenkai leads the overall runs chart, accumulating 1888 runs in 107 matches with the highest score of 75, demonstrating her longevity and consistency at the top level.
However, Chantham shows superior efficiency, having amassed 1870 runs in fewer matches (93) at a higher strike rate of 90.07 and the best batting average of 28.76. Her unbeaten 88 is the highest individual score in the group, and she also holds the record for the most half-centuries with nine, marking her as the most impactful batter.
Thailand’s success is heavily reliant on an exceptionally disciplined and high-quality bowling attack, featuring three players who have crossed the 100-wicket mark. Nattaya Boochatham is the leading wicket-taker with 126 scalps in 102 matches at an outstanding bowling average of 10.89 and a fantastic economy rate of 4.12, confirming her status as the primary strike bowler.
Closely following her are Thipatcha Putthawong and Onnicha Kamchomphu, with 105 and 106 wickets respectively. Putthawong, in particular, stands out for her miserly bowling, boasting the best economy rate on the entire list at 4.02 and the best bowling average at a phenomenal 9.41, indicating that she concedes the fewest runs per wicket taken.
Beyond the top batters and bowlers, all-rounders like Chanida Sutthiruang provide crucial balance, having scored 1010 runs and taken 87 wickets, including an excellent best bowling performance of 5/4. The list also highlights the potential of emerging players like Phannita Maya, who has a match-winning best bowling in an innings of 5/3 from her 66 appearances.
These combined statistics reveal a well-rounded Thailand unit where experienced batters anchor the innings and multiple low-economy bowlers work together to consistently restrict opponents.
The Thailand Women’s team’s recent five-match performance, spanning May 2025, showcases a strong winning ability. The sequence began with a match abandonment without a ball bowled against BHU Women on May 10, followed by another abandoned match against Kuwait Women on May 13.
However, in the three matches that were completed, Thailand Women secured dominant victories. They started with a 45-run win over Bhutan Women in a Group A encounter. Moving into the Super Three stage, they defeated UAE Women by 54 runs. They concluded their five-match run with their most emphatic victory, defeating Nepal Women by 78 runs.
Thailand’s performances speak to a team that has built depth, learned to seize moments, and stays competitive against higher-ranked opposition. The experience of seasoned campaigners coupled with the exuberance of emerging talents provides the home team an exciting edge in this year’s Quadrangular Series.
