In the Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026, scheduled to take place in Dubai, Thailand's captain Thipatcha Putthawong won the toss and opted to bowl first against India.

She further hinted at her team's strategy to keep India's score around 170 runs.
India's captain Harmanpreet Kaur echoed a similar sentiment, stating her team would also prefer to bowl first. However, she was comfortable with batting first, as it's India's maiden match in Dubai. The Indian team is eager to focus on playing quality cricket rather than being overly influenced by the specific conditions.

Pratika Rawal will make her debut for India in the playing XI, replacing Jemimah Rodrigues. The teams will face off in an important opening encounter in Dubai.
