Cricket World Cup Qualifier: Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana Joty believes her team is ready to step up at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, eager to build on their breakthrough performance three years ago in New Zealand. Bangladesh made history in the 2022 edition, registering their first-ever World Cup victory when they defeated Pakistan. That match, Joty admitted, remains unforgettable.

“Our first experience of playing an ODI World Cup three years ago in New Zealand was an eye-opening experience for the team,” Joty wrote in her column for the ICC.

“We made history last time, securing our first-ever win at a World Cup by beating Pakistan in a game I will never forget. Fargana Hoque top-scored for us that day and has been selected again for the squad. As the highest run-scorer for Bangladesh, she is vital to our success, as is Sharmin Akhter, who has responded well to moving down the order to number three.”
