Qatar Women vs UAE Women: Clash of Momentum and Expectations in Match 6
As the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier progresses, all eyes will be on the forthcoming Match 6, which will pit a resolute Qatar Women’s squad against a confident UAE Women’s team ready to start their campaign. The game will take place at Bangkok’s Terdthai Cricket Ground on May 10, 2025.
In their tournament debut, UAE Women made a big impression by easily defeating Malaysia Women by nine wickets. In addition to giving them a strong start, the resounding victory significantly increased their net run rate, which might be very important in the quest for qualification. .On the other side, Qatar Women will be hoping to get off to a similar start in their opening match of the campaign. Having won four of their previous five games, both clubs enter this match in strong form and will look to build on that success.
The UAE team has a diverse group of players, including Michelle Botha, Theertha Satish, Lavanya Keny, Rinitha Rajith, Udeni Dona, Esha Oza, and Keziah Miriam Sabin. Aysha, Christeena Jacob, Shahreen Bahadur, Amna Abdulaziz, and Devanandha Kavinisseri are among the key players who help Qatar bring its own firepower to the game.
Katie Thompson, a strike bowler who has claimed seven wickets in just five innings, is one of the UAE’s most impressive players. In a recent match against Malaysia, she claimed four wickets in just two overs while giving up just seven runs. In a 7-over match, Malaysia was reduced to just 30 runs thanks in large part to that spell. Michelle Botha, an all-rounder who was born in South Africa and just made her international debut, is another important player. Botha has established herself as a reliable match-winner with 67 runs and 9 wickets in her previous six T20 games. . In the opening game, she contributed with the ball by taking 2 wickets for just 11 runs.
For Qatar, Aysha remains a crucial figure in both departments. The 35-year-old has amassed 530 runs across 27 innings with a healthy strike rate of 105.16, along with 19 wickets in 23 innings. Her recent run of form—205 runs and 10 wickets in her last 10 outings—shows her reliability and experience. Supporting her in the lineup is Shahreen Bahadur, a 33-year-old all-rounder originally from Pakistan. She has accumulated 178 runs and taken 12 wickets, and her last outing against Bahrain Women yielded 35 runs and 2 wickets. These two are anticipated to lead Qatar’s competitive assault.
Bat and ball compete fairly on the Terdthai Cricket Ground’s field. The surface promises an even fight with its moderate bounce and early movement for pacers, followed by aid for spinners. In T20 cricket, the average first innings score usually falls between 135 and 145, and teams pursuing usually have a small edge.
It is anticipated that the match will have nice weather. Rain is not predicted, and the temperature will stay at about 36°C. Even while the humidity will be high at first, about 70%, it will probably decrease as the game goes on, which will make things easier for the players.
For fantasy cricket enthusiasts, a suggested playing XI could include Esha Oza, Michelle Botha, Theertha Satish, Athige Silva, Heena Hotchandani, Katie Thompson, Aysha, Shahreen Bahadur, Amna Abdulaziz, Devanandha Kavinisseri, and Angeline Mare.
