Pakistan Women will play Thailand Women in the second quarter-final of women’s cricket at the 2026 Asian Games on Thursday, September 17. The knockout match will decide which team moves on to the semi-finals of the T20 tournament in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
Pakistan vs Thailand: Date and Time.
The Pakistan vs Thailand quarter-final is scheduled for September 17, 2026 at Kōrogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Aichi Prefecture.
For Indian viewers, the match begins at 10:30 AM IST. It is 2:00 PM local time in Japan, while the Pakistan Cricket Board says 10 AM Pakistan Standard Time.
The match is all the more important because the women's Asian Games cricket competition goes directly into the knockout stage, leaving little room for error.
Where In India To Watch Live?
Indian cricket fans can watch the Pakistan vs Thailand women's quarter-final on Sony Sports Network television channels.
The match will also be available for live streaming via the SonyLIV app and website in India. The official event listing on SonyLIV confirms the Pakistan Women vs Thailand Women quarter-final as part of the 2026 Asian Games coverage.
Pakistan Looking To Keep Momentum.
Pakistan enter the quarter-final after recently playing Thailand in the ACC Women's T20 Asia Cup where Pakistan won by a 35-run victory. So the teams have some recent history with each other going into the Asian Games knockout match.
Pakistan will be led by all-rounder Fatima Sana, who will be able to make an important contribution with both bat and ball.
However, Pakistan's squad has undergone some changes. The PCB confirmed that wicketkeeper-batter Muneeba Ali returned home from the UAE because of her mother's illness and will not be able to compete in the Asian Games tournament.
Thailand Is Facing a Major Challenge.
Thailand will try to get a good performance against Pakistan after entering the knockout stage of the Asian Games women's T20 competition.
Naruemol Chaiwai, Natthakan Chantham, Thipatcha Putthawong, and other experienced players will be of great importance to Thailand's hopes. Their ability to handle Pakistan’s bowling attack and build partnerships will determine whether they can remain competitive.
Key Battles To Watch
The contest could be shaped by the battle between Pakistan’s bowling attack and Thailand’s top order. Pakistan will be hoping for early wickets, while Thailand will have to keep a few batters out for a few on the powerplay too.
Spin is a crucial area in the middle overs too. Since the match is played in Japan and under knockout pressure, controlling the scoring rate could be very important.
For Pakistan, the goal is to establish control early on. Thailand, however, will want to produce a disciplined bowling performance and a strong start with the bat.
What To Expect
With a semi-final place at stake, both teams have much to play for. Pakistan's recent 35-run win over Thailand provides them with valuable recent experience against their opponent, but a knockout match is a different one.
The winner will advance to the women's Asian Games semi-finals, while the losing side will end its medal campaign.
