The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Qualifiers have been heating the cricket world up, and every team is fighting for their elusive spot. Bangladesh has been the best team in the competition, with 3 wins.
The team has defeated all the other teams in the group and has qualified for the next round. Bangladesh women have beaten the likes of Scotland women, Ireland women, and Thailand women.
Bangladesh’s Unbeaten Run
It won’t be a mistake to say that Bangladesh has only played easier teams, but that is not to be. The team’s first game was against Thailand, which the Bangladeshis won very easily. Scoring 271 runs in the first game, Bangladesh bowled Thailand out for 93 runs, and won the game by 178 runs.
The team’s second ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Qualifier was against Ireland. Ireland did give a tough competition, but Bangladesh ultimately won by 2 wickets. Chasing down the total of 236 runs, Bangladesh lost wickets early, but held on to win the game.
Bangladesh’s latest win came against Scotland in a close-fought game, where the team made 276 runs with the fall of 6 wickets, while Scotland was restricted to 242 runs — fair to say, an easy win.
Bangladesh Captain Nigar Sultana Dominates
In the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Qualifiers, it was the captain of Bangladesh, Nigar Sultana Joty, who stood up.
In all of the three games played, Nigar has scored a minimum of 50. 2 half centuries against Ireland and Scotland, and a brilliant century against Thailand shows her class.
Throughout the Qualifiers, Nigar has held one side tight, and other batters have scored runs and batted around her to secure the victories.

What’s Next for Bangladesh Women’s Team in the Qualifiers?
As they have won all three games, Bangladeshi tigresses will be up against the likes of the West Indies. West Indies’ challenge might not be easy for Bangladesh women, though. West Indies is a strong and dominant team. Even though the team had lost against Pakistan, the West Indies will be keen to make a mark. Whatever the case, it will be a good game of cricket.
Other Results in ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Qualifiers
Bangladesh leads the table, which might be surprising for a lot of the readers. Besides dominating all the games with a good margin, the team has played complete cricket.
Pakistan is right behind in the table with the net run rate of 0.857, but an equal number of points. Similarly, Scotland has 4 points while Ireland and the West Indies have 2 points each.
The worst of all, is Thailand having not won any single game. All 3 games played by Thailand, have ended in a loss.
