3rd Match, Group B – Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars
Bangkok, February 14, 2026
Thailand Women delivered a commanding all round performance to register a thumping 99 run win over Malaysia Women in their Group B clash of the Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament in Bangkok.
Batting first, Thailand women's national cricket team posted an imposing 169 for 7 in their 20 overs. Their innings was built on a series of brisk partnerships and aggressive stroke play through the middle overs. After a steady start, Thailand accelerated effectively, capitalising on loose deliveries and maintaining momentum despite losing wickets at regular intervals. The total proved to be well above par on a surface that offered some assistance to bowlers.
In reply, Malaysia women's national cricket team struggled to cope with Thailand’s disciplined bowling attack. Chasing 170, Malaysia never found the fluency required to stay in the contest. Early wickets derailed the chase, and the required run rate quickly climbed beyond reach. Thailand’s bowlers maintained tight lines and lengths, mixing pace cleverly and applying constant pressure in the field.
Malaysia were eventually restricted to 70 for 8 in their 20 overs, falling well short of the target. The emphatic margin of victory not only boosted Thailand’s net run rate but also underlined their dominance in the group stage.
With this comprehensive win, Thailand Women strengthened their position in Group B, while Malaysia will need a significant turnaround in their remaining fixtures to stay in contention.
