Pakistan Women take on Thailand Women in the fifth match of the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup, played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Fatima Sana captains a Pakistan squad built around Muneeba Ali Siddiqui behind the stumps, openers and middle-order options such as Ayesha Zafar, Sadaf Shamas and Gull Feroza, and spin from Nashra Sundhu and Sadia Iqbal.
Thailand are led by Naruemol Chaiwai and name a squad including Nannapat Koncharoenkai, Natthakan Chantham, Chanida Sutthiruang, Suleeporn Laomi and Onnicha Kamchomphu. On paper Pakistan hold the stronger line-up, but the conditions in Dubai tend to reward patient batting and good strike rotation.
With the surface expected to slow down, running hard between the wickets will matter as much as boundary hitting. The captain who wins the toss may choose to chase because of possible evening dew, though the heat could be demanding for both teams.
