Pitch Report:
The pitch is on the slower side with run-scoring being relatively easy with the new ball. With the ball holding up, the pacers will bank on their variations with 140 being a very competitive total. Both sides should look to bat first upon winning the toss with a few clouds expected to make an appearance as well.
PK-W vs TL-W Dream11 Tips:
Wicket-keeper: Nannapat Koncharoenkai has been decent in the top order for Thailand. With 45 runs in this tournament so far, she should add some runs to her tally as she is picked as the designated wicket-keeper in the fantasy team. Her counterpart, Sidra Nawaz's batting position is a put-off which leaves Koncharoenkai as the lone option.
Batters: Pakistan captain Javeria Khan has 82 runs to her name so far. With the opener consistently getting runs at the top of the order, she is a must-have in the side along with Nattakan Chantam. Muneeba Ali has also shown glimpses of her ability and could be picked ahead of Omaima Sohail. If an extra batter were required, one could opt for Nahida Khan if she makes the playing XI.
All-rounders: Although Nida Dar hasn't fired for Pakistan in this tournament, she is a valuable asset. While her big-hitting ability is well documented, she should pick a wicket or two on what is a slow pitch.
Along with Nida Dar, Nattaya Boochatham and Chanida Sutthiruang also warranty a spot in the side from the Thai roster. Aliya Riaz has also impressed in recent games with scoring a valiant 39 against South Africa. Her selection should round off the all-rounders' section for this game.
Bowlers: Diana Baig's new balls spells have consistently yielded wickets in this tournament. With five wickets to her name, she is a must-have in the side. While Suleeporn Laomi is also a decent option, Onnicha Kamchomphu's extra batting ability should give her the nod. As for the final pick, one of Anam Amin or Aiman Anwer should suffice from the Pakistan roster.
Captain: In the absence of Bismah Maroof, the batting responsibility lies on the shoulders of Javeria Khan and Nida Dar. Both of them are more than capable of scoring big runs in the top order against a relatively weak Thailand bowling attack. If one were to punt on a Thailand player, all-rounder Nattaya Boochatham would be the perfect fit.
