Another chance for Tigresses to seal WC berth

Bangladesh go into their final game of the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifiers against Pakistan today knowing that their fate is still in their hands. If Bangladesh win today, they will ensure a second consecutive berth in the ODI World Cup behind already-qualified Pakistan.

The Tigresses' three-wicket loss to Windies on Thursday has complicated the scenario a bit following three straight wins in the ongoing qualifiers. It has also brought West Indies and Scotland into contention -- both sides on two wins and much-inferior run-rate to Bangladesh prior to yesterday.

West Indies take on Thailand in the day-night game today, hoping they get a big-margin win and that Bangladesh lose by a big margin against Pakistan in the day game.

Although the loss against West Indies may dampen spirits, Tigresses do have an edge over Pakistan in terms of past records, having won seven matches and losing four.

They also have a bit of security in regards to net run-rate as they can qualify even if they lose to Pakistan while West Indies and Scotland win their final matches. Scotland, in with an outside chance, were playing Ireland yesterday at the time of filing this report.

The Bangladesh versus Pakistan match will get underway at 10:30am Bangladesh time.
