LA­HORE – To stand any chance of qual­i­fy­ing for the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup, West In­dies Women must reg­is­ter a huge win over min­nows Thai­land in their fi­nal World Cup Qual­i­fi­er in Pak­istan on Sat­ur­day morn­ing.

Af­ter a dis­ap­point­ing start to the tour­na­ment where they lost their open­ing match to Scot­land be­fore be­ing sound­ly whipped by Pak­istan, the re­gion­al side will need a string of re­sults to go their way if they are to claim one of the two qual­i­fy­ing spots on of­fer for the Women’s World Cup, which will bowl off in Sep­tem­ber in In­dia.

Ire­land Women did them a favour by knock­ing Scot­land out of con­tention by de­feat­ing them by one wick­et in a thrilling con­test on Fri­day.
