In contrast, Malaysia Women fell short of the target set by Thailand Women, missing the mark by 22 runs.

Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter: Harshitha Samarawickrama
The top-order batter has made promising starts in his last four T20I appearances but has yet to convert them into significant scores. In the match against Bangladesh Women, she demonstrated considerable potential but became somewhat impatient while attempting to seal the game, resulting in a return catch to the bowler. It is anticipated that he may capitalize on the next opportunity and accumulate a substantial score to her name.
Probable Best Bowler: Udeshika Prabodhani
Although the left-arm medium pacer last featured in T20Is during April-May, she exhibited an exceptional performance in the season-opener, including a double-wicket over in the first over of the match. Her accuracy and precision suggested no sign of an extended hiatus. Should she maintain this level of precision, she is poised to deliver another outstanding performance.
