Thu Apr 17 03:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Bangladesh Women Cruise to Victory, While Pakistan Women Prepare for Thailand Clash

**Lahore, Pakistan:** Bangladesh Women secured a comfortable 34-run victory over Scotland Women in the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025, strengthening their position at the top of the points table with three wins. Nigar Sultana’s unbeaten 83 propelled Bangladesh to a challenging 276/6, despite a disappointing 14 from Ishma Tanjim. Scotland’s chase faltered early, and despite late efforts from Priyanaz Chatterji and Rachel Slater, they fell short of the target. Jannatul Ferdus led Bangladesh’s bowling attack with 8 wickets in the qualifiers.

In contrast, West Indies Women suffered a 65-run defeat against Pakistan Women in a previous match. Pakistan’s 191, fueled by Sidra Ameen’s 54, proved too much for the West Indies, who were bowled out for 126, with Sana Fatima claiming three crucial wickets. Hayley Matthews led West Indies’ scoring and wicket-taking efforts in the qualifiers with 137 runs and 10 wickets respectively.

The next match pits Pakistan Women, currently second on the points table with three wins, against Thailand Women, who are yet to register a victory. Pakistan’s Aliya Riaz leads the team in runs (140), and Sana Fatima leads in wickets (7). Thailand, meanwhile, will rely on Natthakan Chantam’s 78 runs and Thipatcha Putthawong’s 5 wickets. Pre-match predictions favor a significant Pakistan victory. The tournament continues with high stakes and exciting matchups.
