New Zealand gain direct entry to women’s World Cup

New Zealand have ensured direct entry to the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup after Bangladesh lost the last match of their Championship series to the West Indies in Basseterre.

New Zealand were assured the direct berth as they finished ahead of Bangladesh having registered more wins – nine to Bangladesh’s eight – after both teams finished with 21 points in the 10-team tournament.

Each team played eight three-match series – four at home and four away.

Hosts India and the other five top teams were assured of direct qualification while the bottom four get a chance to make it through a Qualifier.

Australia have won the championship with 39 points while India finished a close second with 37. England (32), South Africa (25) and Sri Lanka (22) are the other teams to have ensured direct berths to the World Cup.

Bangladesh (21), West Indies (18), Pakistan (17) and Ireland (eight) will be joined in the Cricket World Cup Qualifier by Scotland and Thailand, the two other highest ranked teams as of October 31, 2024.

The details of the Qualifier are yet to be announced with two spots still up for grabs.
