SA Women Team News & Playing 11
SAW Team News
The victory on Sunday was South Africa's maiden T20 World Cup win against England. Their bowlers were impressive first up before the batters held their nerve to take the team over the line. After that famous win, the Proteas Women may not consider making any changes to their side and could keep an unchanged eleven for this upcoming clash against Thailand. There are no injuries in the South African camp are they will be coming full-strength on Friday.
SAW Key Players
Dane van Niekerk: She has scored the most runs for South Africa in T20Is and is also one of the team's leading wicket-takers in the format. The skipper was the player of the match against England, first picking two wickets with the ball and then scoring 46 runs.
Shabnim Ismail: She is South Africa's highest wicket-taker in the T20 format - 95 wickets in 89 matches at an economy of 5.80. The fast bowler is currently the world's second-best bowler in the ICC Women's T20I rankings and will be the one to watch out for in the middle overs.
Marizanne Kapp: She is another player in this side who can make an impact with both bat and ball. The all-rounder is among the team's most consistent performers when it comes to bowling. She snared a four-wicket haul in the warm-up game against Australia and took 2-19 last time out against England.
SAW Team Form
South Africa have only three wins in their last nine T20 internationals. They toured New Zealand before coming to Australia and were handed a 1-3 defeat by the hosts in a series of four matches. The Proteas Women, however, have started their WT20 World Cup campaign on a high with a six-wicket win over the second-ranked England in their opening game at Perth. It was a top performance by the South African bowlers who restricted England to just 123.

THAI Women Team News & Playing 11
THAIW Team News
Thailand played the same eleven in their first two matches, and despite losing both of them, they might keep an unchanged line-up this time as well. Nattakan Chantam and Nattaya Boochatham will open the batting once again while Nannapat Koncharoenkai will take his number three spot. In terms of bowling, Boochatham will probably continue to partner pacer Soraya Lateh in the powerplay.
THAIW Key Players
Nattakan Chantam: She is one of the few batters in this team to have hit two half-centuries in the T20 format. The opener looked promising in the last match against England with her knock of 32 and the onus will be on her again to provide a good start to the innings.
Naruemol Chaiwai: She is the most reliable batter for Thailand in the middle order. She has scored the most runs for her side in this format and will look to make it count this time after throwing away two decent starts.
Nattaya Boochatham: She is the team's leading wicket-taker having taken 49 wickets in 37 T20Is at a very healthy economy of 3.60. The fast bowler has not conceded too many runs in both the matches and will be expected to put pressure on the South African batters with her tight spells.
THAIW Team Form
Thailand have been blowing hot and cold in the T20 format; they have won four and lost three of their last seven matches. They are currently lying at the bottom of the Women's T20 World Cup 2020 points table having suffered defeats in their opening two games. Thailand first faced-off against the West Indies at the WACA where they conceded a seven-wicket win before England gave them a 98-run hammering in their last match at the Manuka Oval - the venue for this match.
