Toss Prediction
Light rain showers have been forecast for Wednesday and the side batting second will have an advantage if the DLS method comes into play. So the team that wins the toss in this match is more likely to bowl first.
Weather Report
Some cloud cover can be expected throughout the day with a slight possibility of showers. So there could be a few interruptions and we might have a shortened game on Wednesday. 25-27 degrees Celsius is likely to be the temperature range during the match.
Pitch Condition
The wicket at the Manuka Oval looked good for batting in the two games that were played here in the recent Big Bash League. A similar surface is expected to be prepared for this game and anything around 150 will be a good first-innings total.

ENG Women Team News & Playing 11
ENGW Team News
England will be going into this match with a clean bill of health as none of their players have been reported to be injured. They went down to South Africa in their first game of the WT20 World Cup 2020 tournament, but despite that loss, we don't expect them to make any changes to their line-up for this upcoming clash against Thailand. Their batting will be opened by Amy Ellen Jones and Danielle Wyatt while their bowling will be spearheaded by the pace duo of Anya Shrubsole and Katherine Brunt.
ENGW Key Players
Danielle Wyatt: She is the leading run-getter for England in women's T20I cricket from the current squad. The opener is having a strike-rate of 123.53 in the format and scored a brisk 42 in last week's warm-up match against New Zealand at Adelaide.
Natalie Sciver: She is an asset to the team and a match-winner with both bat and ball. The all-rounder is coming on the back of an impressive half-century against South Africa. Sciver has taken 56 wickets in T20Is with her pace bowling.
Sophie Ecclestone: The consistent left-arm spinner holds the key for England in the middle overs. She has picked 44 wickets in the format at an economy of 6.35 and delivered a fantastic performance last time, grabbing figures of 2-19 from four overs.
ENGW Team Form
England Women had a very successful last year in the shortest format of the game with 11 wins from 13 matches. This year, however, they are not looking in the best of forms and have managed only one win so far in their five encounters. Before coming into this World Cup, they played a T20I tri-series involving hosts Australia and India where they failed to reach the final having won two of their four fixtures. In this tournament as well, England have started on a losing note, facing a six-wicket defeat in Sunday’s opening clash against South Africa at the WACA.

THAI Women Team News & Playing 11
THAIW Team News
Thailand suffered a heavy loss at the hands of West Indies in their opening encounter but they might keep faith in their current eleven and retain the entire line-up from that game. Only Nannapat Koncharoenkai and Naruemol Chaiwai managed to reach double figures with the bat and the team will expect the others to step up in Canberra if they are to have any chance of averting back-to-back defeats. Nattakan Chantam and Nattaya Boochatham will continue to open the innings and the latter is likely to again share the new ball with Soraya Lateh.
THAIW Key Players
Naruemol Chaiwai: With 657 runs in 36 T20 internationals, Naruemol Chaiwai is Thailand's highest run-scorer in the format. She has a couple of half-centuries under her belt and will be expected to fire after failing to make an impact with the bat in the last game.
Nattakan Chantam: She is another key batter for Thailand at the top of the order. The opener cracked 82 not-out against India A and 60 against Bangladesh at the Women's T20 Quadrangular Series held in India last month.
Nattaya Boochatham: Her good skills with both bat and ball makes her an important member of the team. She has taken the most wickets for the country in T20Is - 48 which includes a couple of four-fers. The off-spinner conceded only 9 runs off her 3.4 overs against the Windies.
THAIW Team Form
Thailand Women have been very fairly impressive in the 20-over format since the beginning of last year. They will be heading into this game having won four of their last six T20 internationals. After losing 0-2 to Bangladesh in Netherlands, they played the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in Scotland where they finished runners-up after again losing to Bangladesh in the final match. Thailand faced the West Indies in their campaign opener of this Women's World T20 at the WACA on Saturday and were handed a seven-wicket thrashing.
THAI Women Predicted Playing 11
Nattakan Chantam, Nattaya Boochatham, Nannapat Koncharoenkai (wk), Naruemol Chaiwai, Chanida Sutthiruang, Sornnarin Tippoch (c), Onnicha Kamchomphu, Wongpaka Liengprasert, Ratanaporn Padunglerd, Suleeporn Laomi, Soraya Lateh

🏆 ENG Women vs THAI Women Prediction
Thailand may have been competing well in this format in recent times but almost all of their wins have come against low quality teams. They were outplayed by the West Indies in the last match and will now face an even sterner challenge in form of England - champions of the inaugural edition and runners-up of last time. Heather Knight's women were stunned by South Africa in Perth and they will be eyeing this game as a perfect opportunity to open their account on the points table. They are clearly the superior side in all departments of the game and should secure a comfortable victory come Wednesday.
