In the ICC Women라이브 바카라 Championship 2022-25, Bangladesh finished with 21 points from 24 matches, the same as New Zealand. However, the White Ferns edged ahead due to a superior net run rate, clinching the sixth and final direct qualification spot.
Consequently, Bangladesh had to participate in the World Cup Qualifier – also featuring West Indies, Pakistan, Ireland, Scotland, and Thailand – to vie for one of the remaining two spots.
The Bangladesh Women라이브 바카라 team, led by Nigar Sultana, made a fine start to the Qualifier round. They had a massive 178-run win over Thailand in the first match, following it up with a two-wicket victory over Ireland.
After securing their third win against Scotland, they suffered back-to-back defeats against West Indies and Pakistan.
However, their strong performances in the first three games gave them a healthy Net Run Rate advantage. This proved crucial as Windies, their closest competitors, needed to chase down a target of 167 against Thailand in just 10.1 overs to surpass Bangladesh라이브 바카라 net run rate.
Despite a valiant performance from Hayley Matthews, securing her team a six-wicket win, West Indies achieved the target in 10.5 overs, falling short of the required rate. As a result, BAN-W finished with a marginally better NRR – just 0.013 – going through to the main event.
The final standings of the Qualifier saw Pakistan and Bangladesh occupying the top two positions, thereby earning their spots in the ICC Women라이브 바카라 Cricket World Cup 2025.
They joined the six teams that had already qualified directly: Australia, England, India (hosts), New Zealand, South Africa, and Sri Lanka.
The ICC Women라이브 바카라 Cricket World Cup 2025 is scheduled to start on 29 September, with the final set for 26 October. While India will host the majority of the matches, games involving Pakistan will be held at a neutral venue, as per an agreement between the ICC, PCB, and BCCI.
