Bangladesh v Pakistan - Warm Up Match: ICC Women — Salma Khatun will play a key role for Bangladesh Women

The Women’s Asia Cup T20 2022 kicks off on October 1. Sylhet in Bangladesh will host all the games of the competition, with games scheduled to take place at two venues, namely, Sylhet Outer Cricket Stadium and Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

The opening game of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 2022 sees hosts Bangladesh Women lock horns with Thailand Women at the Sylhet Outer Cricket Stadium in Sylhet.

Bangladesh Women are coming off a successful campaign in the recently concluded ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2022. They remained unbeaten throughout the tournament and beat Ireland Women in the final to seal a berth in the T20 World Cup next year.

Nigar Sultana will continue to lead Bangladesh Women in the shortest format. The likes of Salma Khatun, Fargana Hoque, and Rumana Ahmed will play a key role for the side in the competition. They will look to take the advantage of the home conditions and start on a winning note.

Thailand Women, on the other hand, participated in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2022 but didn’t have the best of times. They finished fourth in the competition, having lost to Zimbabwe Women in the third place playoff. They will be hoping to turn the tables around in the Asia Cup.

Naruemol Chaiwai will be leading the side, with Nannapat Khoncharoenkai being named as her deputy.
