ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier, 2019: Match 2, Netherlands Women vs Thailand Women: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The 2nd match of the 2019 ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier between Netherlands Women and Thailand Women will be hosted by the Lochlands in Arbroath.

The match starts at 10:00 AM local time (9:00 AM GMT) (2:30 PM IST).

Preview:

Thailand Women will face off Netherlands Women in the 2nd match of the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier at the Lochlands. Recently, Thailand Women set a record for most consecutive wins by any team in the T20I format. In this process, they broke the record held by Australia Women with 16 successive wins. Thailand’s winning streak of 17 matches came to an end soon after they created history.

The 17 consecutive wins involve as many as 12 victories in Bangkok, which is their home venue. They will eye a spot in the main tournament after the success they saw heading into the tournament. In their first match, they will be up against Dutch Women, whom they have defeated quite a few times in the past. One of the main reasons for Thailand Women’s success is trusting the core group.

Weather Condition/Report:

A perfect start to the tournament is expected in Arbroath with no chance of rain. It will be partly cloudy during the day without any rainfall.

Pitch Condition/Report:

There is no proper data on how the pitch at the Lochlands in Arbroath behaves. However, the warm-up matches recorded scores of 120 which is quite common among the teams in this competition. But if Netherlands bat first, they might finish with a lower score than what Thailand is expected to make.
