The 2019 Thailand Women's T20 Smash was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament held in Bangkok, Thailand from 12 to 19 January 2019.[1] The participants were the women's national sides of Thailand, Bhutan, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal and United Arab Emirates, as well as a Thailand A side.[2] Matches (except those involving Thailand A) were recognised as official T20I games as per the International Cricket Council's announcement that full T20I status would apply to all the matches played between women's teams of associate members after 1 July 2018.[3] The matches were played at the Asian Institute of Technology Ground and the Terdthai Cricket Ground, both in Bangkok.[4] Thailand won the tournament after winning all of their matches.[5]

On 13 January, while chasing a first innings score of 203/3, China were bowled out by United Arab Emirates for just 14 runs. This was the lowest ever total in a women's T20I and the biggest margin of defeat, until Mali recorded four lower totals in June 2019 during the 2019 Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament.[6]
