Will Bangladesh Qualify? What is the probability?
- West Indies is left with one match against Thailand.
- And if WI women’s win with a larger margin then they will be equal with BAN with 6 points.
- Based on the NRR the second qualified team will be decided.
- As per the shared views of experts the qualifying probability is little favourable to the Bangladesh women’s team.
- Yet fingers crossed.
