The third match of the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025 promises to be an exciting contest as Bangladesh face Thailand on April 10 at 10 AM IST at the Lahore City Cricket Association Ground. The tournament has already delivered thrilling action, with Pakistan defeating Ireland by 38 runs in the opener and Scotland edging past West Indies by 11 runs in a close second match.
Both Bangladesh and Thailand come into this fixture after playing two warm-up matches each. Bangladesh looked dominant, securing wins against Scotland by 5 wickets and Pakistan A by a massive 167-run margin. Thailand, however, faced setbacks in both their games, losing to Pakistan by 7 wickets and Ireland by 3 wickets.
Bangladesh’s most recent ODI outing was a three-match series against West Indies in January, where they lost 2-1, claiming victory only in the second ODI with a 60-run win. Thailand, meanwhile, haven’t featured in any recent ODI series but have been active in the shorter format, winning the Nepal Women’s T20I Tri-Series by topping the points table and clinching the title against Nepal in the final.
Head-to-Head:
Bangladesh and Thailand have never faced each other in the 50-over format before and are set to make their ODI debut against each other in the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025. However, the two teams have a head-to-head record in T20Is, having clashed seven times since their first encounter in 2018. Bangladesh holds a 7-0 lead over Thailand, with their most recent meeting coming during the Women’s Asia Cup in 2024, where Bangladesh won by 7 wickets.
