The ACC Women’s T20 Championship has been moving on full tilt. Having resumed after 9 years, the tournament has been a hit among fans as well as players. With three matches scheduled for 21st June, let’s look at all the details regarding those.
Team News:
Match 14- Qatar Women vs Singapore Women
With one win in two games and one game abandoned, the Qatar Women’s team sit at the third position in Group A. Their bowling unit has been very impressive in the game against Oman but their batting still needs to be tested. Angeline Mare with 4-10-3 and Hiral Agarwal with 2-2-3 were the pick of their bowlers. Singapore’s form is questionable, to say the least. With two losses in two games, the Singapore team linger at the bottom of Group A and would have to come up with a great all-round performance if they’re to have any sort of redemption.
Qatar Probable XI: Shahreennawab Bahadur, Shrutiben Rana, Aysha (c), Rochelle Quyn, Hiral Agarwal, Rizpha Bano Emmanuel, Angeline Mare, Trupti Kale (wk), Aleena Khan, Khadija Imtiaz, Saachi Dhadwal.
Singapore Probable XI: Shafina Mahesh(c), Piumi Gurusinghe(w), GK Diviya, Chathurani Abeyratne, Ada Bhasin, Riyaa Bhasin, Vinu Kumar, Jocelyn Pooranakaran, Johanna Pooranakaran, Damini Ramesh, Ishita Shukla, Zay Hua Tan, Ananyapriya Venkata, Vigineswari Pasupathy
Match 15- Bhutan Women vs Kuwait Women
In the 15th match, the bottom team Bhutan clash with the mid-table team Kuwait. With no wins for either team in two games, they would be looking to get their first taste of a win. Kuwait’s first game was abandoned which is how they got their sole point. With both teams unable to get past triple digits scores in past games, batters would need to up their game to win this match.
Bhuatan Probable XI: Ngawang Choden, Yeshey Choden, Dechen Wangmo(c), Tshering Zangmo, Sonam Choden, Tashi Lhaden, Pema Seldon(w), Anju Gurung, Karma Dema, Tashi Cheki, Sonam
Kuwait Probable XI: Maryam Omar, Priyada Murali, Zeefa Jilani, Amna Tariq(c), Siobhan Gomez, Khadija Khalil, Mariamma Hyder, Maryyam Ashraf, Balasubramani Shanti, Aakriti Bose(w), Maria Jasvi
Match 16- Hong Kong Women vs Nepal Women
The last game of 21st June would be the clash of the table toppers. With two wins in both of their games, Nepal and Hong Kong have attained four points each. Nepal sit at the pinnacle with a slightly better NRR but Hong Kong would be looking to surmount a challenge at the top of the table themselves. Hong Kong’s batting has been very good having made 102 runs in the first match and 81 runs in just 11.2 overs in the second. Nepal however have equally good batting and similar bowling too. Their two wins have come by a margin of 25 and 50 runs.
Hong Kong Probable XI: Shanzeen Shahzad, Mariko Hill, Bella Poon, Kary Chan(c), Yasmin Daswani(w), Emma Lai, Maryam Bibi, Elysa Hubbard, Betty Chan, Iqra Sahar, Natasha Miles
Nepal Probable XI: Jyoti Pandey, Bindu Rawal, Sita Rana Magar, Indu Barma, Kajal Shrestha(w), Rubina Chhetry(c), Asmina Karmacharya, Dolly Bhatta, Kabita Kunwar, Mamta Chaudhar, Sangita Rai
