Who will win Bangladesh vs Thailand Final, Womens T20 WC Qualifier 2019?
Bangladesh and Thailand will compete at next year’s Women’s World Twenty20 but first can claim some early bragging rights in the final of the qualifier tournament. The final takes place at Forthill, Dundee, on September 7 and the live action starts at 14:00.
The Tigers won this competition last year and have ensured they will be in the final tournament again this time out. They also beat Thailand in one of their pre-tournament matches and so go into this game as favourites.
Thailand, meanwhile, were one of the surprise packages of the tournament – following up their good form at the Netherlands Quadrangular Series by winning every game so far. They have used the same 11 players throughout both competitions, with Chanida Sutthiruang’s bowling key to their success in Scotland so far.

BANW Team News
Ayasha Rahman returned to open the batting last time out, replacing Khadija Tul Kubra, but she has struggled with the bat throughout this tournament and the Tigers could opt for the extra bowler this time. Shamima Sultana and Sobhana Mostary have both not featured and, with World Cup qualification secured, both could be considered too.
BANW Key Players
Nahida Akter: Led the bowling in the group stage, with seven wickets from three matches, before taking a tidy 1-17 with her slow left-arm bowling in the semi-final. She previously took 1-6 and 2-9 in the two matches against Thailand in the Netherlands.
Fahima Khatun: Bowled tidily throughout the group stage, with some excellent economical bowling, and finally got her rewards in the semi-final when she claimed 3-18 from her four overs..
Sanjida Islam: Led the chase in the win against Ireland, scoring 32* to move to 85 runs in the tournament – more than any other Bangladesh batsman.
BANW Team Form
Bangladesh have stormed through to another World Twenty20 without losing a game. They bowled the USA out for 46 to start with an eight-wicket win, and then beat Papua New Guinea and Scotland by six and 13 runs respectively in rain-shortened matches.
In the semi-finals, their bowlers were on top again – restricting Ireland to 85 from their 20 overs thanks to Fahima Khatun’s 3-18 before Sanjida Islam (32*) ensured they eased to a four-wicket win.
