The 10th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025 is set to take place between Bangladesh and Scotland at the Gaddafi Stadium, starting at 2:30 PM IST. As the tournament reaches its business end, the stakes are high, and this match promises to be an exciting encounter for cricket fans.
Bangladesh currently tops the points table with four points, having won both their matches. Scotland is third, also with four points, but trails Bangladesh due to an inferior Net Run Rate.
Bangladesh’s campaign has begun strongly, with a massive 178-run victory over Thailand, powered by Nigar Sultana’s century and five-wicket hauls from Fahima Khatun and Jannatul Ferdaus. In their recent match, they edged past Ireland by two wickets, thanks to Rabeya Khan’s three-wicket haul and half-centuries from Nigar Sultana and Ritu Moni while chasing 236.
Scotland, meanwhile, has had a mixed campaign. They started with a close 11-run victory over West Indies, thanks as Sarah Bryce played a composed knock and Kathryn Bryce picked up three wickets. But they were handed a six-wicket defeat by Pakistan, despite a valiant 91 from Kathryn Bryce. In their last outing, they bounced back with a 58-run win over Thailand, with Kathryn Bryce and Megan McColl contributing half-centuries and Rachel Slater, Kathryn Bryce, and Abtaha Maqsud picking up three wickets each.
With both teams in strong form, this clash promises to be one of the highlights of the tournament.
Head-to-Head:
Bangladesh and Scotland have never faced each other in ODIs. However, in T20Is, Bangladesh has a perfect record against Scotland, winning all five matches since 2018. Their most recent encounter was during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, which marked Scotland’s World Cup debut, and Bangladesh emerged victorious, winning by 16 runs.
