WI heart broken due to net run rate
In fact, ICC Women’s World Cup qualifier matches were being played in Pakistan from April 9. Today the last match was played between West Indies and Thailand. In this match held at Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore, the Thailand team batted first and scored 166 runs after losing all their wickets in 44.1 overs. WI had to chase this target for 11 overs at any cost to qualify for the World Cup.

– West Indies were 162/4 in 10.4 overs, needing 5 more runs.
– WI needed a 4 and a 6 on 10.5 and 10.6, in order to qualify for WC.
– Stafanie Taylor smashed a 6 on 10.5.
– West Indies won, but didn't qualify for the WC due NRR. đ pic.twitter.com/ZHWDX0lrwo
The West Indies batsmen performed brilliantly and scored 162 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 10.4 overs. Now they needed to hit a four on the fifth ball and a six on the sixth ball. A four on the fifth ball would have leveled the score and then a six on the next ball would have helped West Indies win and qualify for the tournament. But here Stephanie Taylor made a mistake, which she will probably remember for the rest of her life. Taylor hit a six instead of a four on the fifth ball and West Indies won the match.
In this way, West Indies missed out on qualifying for the tournament even after winning the match. Due to better run rate, the Bangladeshi team became the second team after Pakistan to confirm its place in the World Cup 2025. Bangladesh registered 3 wins in 5 matches and its net rate is 0.639. At the same time, West Indies also won three out of five matches and its net run rate is 0.626.
Let us tell you that this time India has got the hosting of Women’s World Cup 2025, which will be played between 29 September and 26 October.
