Bangladesh: Consistency Meets Class
Bangladesh’s women cricketers have quietly built a reputation for resilience and consistency. Their latest victory over Thailand, a 39-run win in Kathmandu, sealed their seventh consecutive appearance at the T20 World Cup.
- Sobhana Mostary (59) and Juairiya Ferdous (56) combined for a century stand, setting up a strong total of 166.

This qualification is proof of Bangladesh’s steady rise in women’s cricket, despite challenges at home.
Netherlands: A Landmark First
For the Netherlands, this qualification is historic. Their win against the USA by 21 runs (DLS method) means they’ll be at the Women’s T20 World Cup for the very first time.
- Heather Siegers lit up the innings with a fiery 28 off 12 balls.
- Phebe Molkenboer anchored the chase with an unbeaten 46.
- Rain shortened the game, but at 90/2 in 12 overs, the Dutch were comfortably ahead.
This win provides a breakthrough moment for European women’s cricket.
