Match Prediction

The 26th Match of the Super Six stage in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier 2026 features the United States of America Women squaring off against Thailand Women at the Mulpani Cricket Ground. Both teams come into this encounter with contrasting trajectories but eager to make their mark. The USA Women have demonstrated improved consistency in the recent fixtures, winning three of their last five matches, showcasing a balanced combination of aggressive batting and disciplined bowling. Their key player, Suzi Best, has been pivotal with the bat, accumulating quick runs at the top order. Additionally, off-spinner Emily Hart has chipped in with crucial breakthroughs in the middle overs. Thailand Women, on the other hand, have exhibited strong resilience and tactical acumen. They have a reputation for playing spin well and rely heavily on leg-spinner Prapatsorn Siripanya, who has been their strike bowler, picking regular wickets and stemming the flow of runs. The middle order, led by Natthakan Chantam, is known for accelerating the innings during the death overs. Historically, these two teams have met four times in T20s with a balanced 2-2 record, adding an extra edge to this contest. Strategically, the USA will look to capitalize on powerplay overs with aggressive stroke play while relying on their seam attack in the middle overs. Thailand will aim to keep tight lines, applying pressure through spin and targeting set batswomen. The pitch at Mulpani is expected to offer some assistance to spinners as the game progresses. Considering recent form, experience, and adaptability to conditions, the edge slightly favors Thailand, though this match could be tightly contested.

Winning Probability - USA Women: 47%, Thailand Women: 53%

Score Prediction

If the United States Women bat first, the predicted total would be around 140-150 runs. Their top order has shown the ability to score briskly but may struggle initially against quality spin on a pitch that offers some turn. Utilizing depth in batting, USA can post a competitive total leveraging their power hitters in the later overs. Conversely, if Thailand Women bat first, they are likely to post a slightly higher first-innings total of 150-160 runs. With proficient spinners and a strong batting lineup comfortable playing spin, Thailand is expected to build partnerships and accelerate through the middle and death overs. The pitch conditions support spin, favoring Thailand’s strengths.
