This edition is being played in Thailand with all the matches being played at Asian Institute of Technology Ground and Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Nepal are the 6 teams who are gracing their presence in the tournament. Thailand and Nepal are the two qualifying teams who made it through a Women's World Cup Asia Qualifier tournament.

Defending champions India women are being led by new skipper Harmanpreet Kaur. Harmanpreet, the first Indian cricketer to be signed by Sydney Sixers in Women's Big Bash League (BBL), has a promising squad along with her. She will be supported by the veteran Mithali Raj and also has the able services of Jhulan Goswami, Ekta Bisht. Smriti Madhana and Veda Krishnamurthy at her disposal.

Pakistan team is being led by Bismah Maroof while Sri Lanka women have Hasini Perera as their skipper.
