In a surprising turn of events at the Asian Games women’s cricket competition, Bangladesh advanced to the semifinals without playing a match. Meanwhile, Pakistan faced a challenging contest against Thailand, ultimately securing their place in the last four after a hard-fought, low-scoring game. This match took place on Thursday, September 17, 2026.
The T20 match was called off without even the toss taking place at the Karogi Sports Park in Aichi prefecture’s Nisshin city. For Thailand, off-spinners Onnicha Kamchomphu (3/37) and Sunida Chaturongrattana (2/23) did well for the side. Bangladesh advanced on the basis of their higher international ranking after their quarterfinal match against China was abandoned due to a wet outfield. Pakistan, on the other hand, won by three wickets after being a set a target of 92 by Thailand in a truncated match due to wet conditions. The Pakistan-Thailand clash also got off to a delayed start at the same venue due to the ground conditions and was eventually truncated to 11-overs-a-side.
