Match 12 serves as the Group B finale in Dubai, where Bangladesh Women and UAE Women square off under floodlights to finalize the semi-final matchups.
For Bangladesh Women, captained by veteran wicketkeeper-batter Nigar Sultana Joty, maintaining middle-overs batting stability and enforcing tight spin squeezes are top priorities.

Featuring talented core performers-including Theertha Satish, Kavisha Egodage, Indhuja Nandakumar, Samaira Dharnidharka, and spinner Vaishnave Mahesh-the UAE look to capitalize on early new-ball movement and unleash aggressive powerplay strokeplay.
