Thailand Women vs Uganda Women, 18th Match

The upcoming 18th match of the ICC Womens Emerging Nations Trophy 2025 sees Thailand Women take on Uganda Women at the Asian Institute of Technology Ground. Thailand Women enter this game with a moderately strong form, having won 3 of their last 5 T20 matches in emerging nation competitions, showcasing consistent batting depth and disciplined bowling performances. Their key players, including Nattaya Boochatham, have consistently anchored the innings while providing handy contributions with the ball. Uganda Women, on the other hand, have shown grit but remain underdogs with 2 wins from their last 5 games. Their recent performances highlight a developing batting lineup but occasional breakthroughs by spinners have kept them competitive. Head-to-head encounters between these two sides are limited but indicate a slight edge to Thailand owing to better experience at this level. Strategically, Thailand may look to capitalize on their superior middle-order stability and their spinners exploiting the conditions at Asian Institute of Technology Ground, which traditionally favors slow bowlers. Uganda will aim to disrupt the pace from the start and rely on their young pace attack to rattle Thailand’s top order early. Their batters will also need to build partnerships to cross the competitive threshold. Considering recent performances, experience, and tactical advantages, Thailand Women have a clear upper hand going into the match.

If Thailand Women bat first, they are likely to post a competitive total around 140-150 runs, banking on their strong middle order and ability to capitalize on good starts. The pitch is expected to aid stroke play early on. Conversely, if Uganda Women bat first, their predicted score would be slightly lower, approximately 130-140 runs, as they tend to start cautiously but can accelerate in the middle overs, depending on how well their middle order settles. Both totals assume normal batting conditions with balanced playing surface and typical dew factor towards the evening.

The Asian Institute of Technology Ground generally offers a slow, low-bounce pitch favoring spinners in the middle overs. The average first-innings total at this ground in recent matches stands at around 145 runs.

Weather forecast for November 26, 2025, predicts mild temperatures with no significant rain interruption and light humidity, conducive for both batters and bowlers.
