T20 World Cup Match 7: ENG-W vs TL-W Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | ENG-W vs TL-W Dream11 Prediction Today | England Women vs Thailand Women Preview Dream11 | ENG-W vs TL-W Key Players

After a string of matches out west in Perth, the action moves to the nation’s capital as the stakes rise just that little bit higher.

Indeed, the stakes are higher for England. They need to bounce back well after their first up defeat to South Africa as they look to get their T20 World Cup campaign on the right track.

They come up against Thailand who were spirited in their defeat to West Indies. The Thais may have struggled against the pace and bounce on offer in Perth, so the move to Canberra, as well as their superb fielding effort last game, is reason for confidence.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

• Heather Knight’s struggle vs South Africa hurt England. She has been their form player in recent times, with a strong Tri-Series against Australia (78) and India (67).
• Natalie Sciver proved how vital she is to the England cause. Her 50 (41) was the only significant contribution by a top six player vs South Africa. Plus, she is always a chance for wickets with the ball.
• The young Nannapat Koncharoenkai held her own against West Indies (33). The strike rate (below 70) is not a threat, but Thailand need a spine to their innings.
• Naruemol Chaiwai (657) and Nattakan Chantam (612) are Thailand’s top T20I run-scorers. So, the Thais need these two players to deliver more than their 22 runs combined vs West Indies.
• Is this the game Danni Wyatt fires? She has just 48 runs in her last five T20I innings. Amy Jones scored 21 and 23 in the two warm up games, followed by 23 vs SA. Can she build on her starts?
• Katherine Brunt is usually one to lead the way in a time of need. She will be out for wickets in the powerplay overs to get England on their way.
• Nattaya Boochatham, Thailand’s leading wicket-taker with 48, was at her economical best vs West Indies (econ. 2.75 in 3.4 overs). However, can she turn this into wickets this game?
• Suleeporn Laomi (43) and Chanida Sutthiruang (42) are Thailand’s next two highest wicket-takers in T20Is.
• Sophie Ecclestone continues to take wickets. She has 44 scalps in 31 T20Is, including seven in her last five T20Is.
• Can Anya Shrubsole (94 T20I wickets in 72 games) break the game open?

Stats and Facts

• England have lost their last two T20Is – against Australia and South Africa.
• Thailand scored at just 3.90 per over vs West Indies. However, they bowled and fielded beautifully, conceding just 4.8 per over.
• Tammy Beaumont batted at seven last game. It remains to be seen if England get value out of a good player batting so low.
