After starting their 2025 ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier campaign on a dominating note with a 178-run victory over Thailand women, Bangladesh women eye second win on the trot when they take on Ireland women at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday.
Against, Bangladesh rode on a Nigar Sultana’s century to post 271/3 in 50 overs. In reply, Thailand were bowled out for 93 in 28.5 overs, thanks to five-wicket hauls from Fahima Khatun and Jannatul Ferdus.
On the other hand, Ireland are coming after two straight defeats against Pakistan and West Indies. While they lost to Pakistan 38 runs, the Irish women fell six runs short against West Indies in a rain-hit clash despite a strong effort from Amy Hunter and Laura Delany.
