Form Guide

The two teams enter the fixture with similar momentum in their favour, as Pakistan have two victories in their last five completed T20Is, while Thailand have three.

Pakistan's most recent assignment in the shortest format was a three-match away series against Sri Lanka, which they lost 2-1 and came after their group-stage exit from the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026.

Thailand, on the other hand, are playing their third match of the ongoing continental tournament, having faced Hong Kong, China, in the curtain-raiser, followed by former champions India.
