Malaysia Women National Cricket Team vs Thailand Women National Cricket Team Timeline - Malaysia Women lock horns with Thailand Women in Match 3 of the Women's Asia Cup 2024.

Malaysia Women National Cricket Team vs Thailand Women National Cricket Team Timeline - Match 3 of the Women's Asia Cup 2024 will feature Malaysia Women and Thailand Women in a Group B encounter at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla. 

The two teams have encountered each other four times between 2018 and 2023, with the Thais emerging victorious on all four occasions. Notably, in three out of these four matches, Thailand secured wins by successfully defending.

Notably, Malaysia Women lost in the final of the Asian Cricket Council Women's Premier Cup, where they were defeated by UAE Women. In their most recent outing, the Thailand Women's team faced Scotland Women at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier. Thailand managed to post a modest total of 99 runs for the loss of five wickets. The Scottish team then comfortably chased down the target, securing a six-wicket victory.
