Bangladesh women team qualified for World Cup 

The Bangladesh women team have been qualified for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025. The team have secured their spot by the slimmest of margins.

Pakistan have secured the World Cup with the highest 10 points. 

Bangladesh’s run rate was 0.639 with 6 points in five matches. Despite scoring a record 168 runs in 10.5 overs against Thailand, the Windies could not make it to the World Cup. Even though they had equal points after five matches, the Windies' run rate was 0.626. As a result, their name was dropped from the World Cup team.

The Caribbean side, needing to chase down 167 in just 10.3 overs to surpass Bangladesh’s NRR, launched a ferocious counter-attack. Captain Hayley Matthews led the charge with a blistering 70 off 29 balls, supported by Chinelle Henry’s explosive 48 from 17.

The target remained within reach until the very end. When Stafanie Taylor cleared the boundary with a six in the 10.5th over, West Indies sealed victory — but missed qualification by just two deliveries.

Earlier on Saturday, Pakistan finished the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Qualifiers at the top of the table with a domineering win over Bangladesh by seven wickets in Lahore on Saturday to remain unbeaten in the tournament.
