Bangladesh qualified with Pakistan
With the qualifying of Bangladesh, West Indies’ dream of playing World Cup has been broken. The West Indies World Cup could not qualify for 2025 due to net run rate. Bangladesh suffered defeat against Pakistan in their last qualifier match while West Indies defeated Thailand to end their campaign in the tournament. The West Indies team could not beat Bangladesh in terms of net run rate despite winning by 6 wickets against Thailand.
West Indies dreams shattered
In the last match of the Women’s Cricket World Cup qualifier, Thailand’s team batted first and collapsed for 166 runs in 46.1 overs. West Indies had to achieve 167 runs in 10.1 overs to overtake Bangladesh’s net run rate, but this could not happen. The West Indies achieved the target of 167 runs in 10.5 overs and missed the qualification by a slight margin.
Pakistan and Bangladesh won
Significantly, in the World Cup qualifier, hosts Pakistan won all their 5 matches and finished the top with Points Table 10 points while Bangladesh’s team finished second with 3 wins in 5 matches. In this way, Bangladesh shattered the West Indies team’s dream of playing the World Cup. Both teams were 6-6 points equal to the team, but Bangladesh finished the second position due to better net run rate.
