After losing the toss, Nigar Sultana’s side put up an impressive batting performance, scoring 165 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs.
In reply, Thailand were restricted to 126 for 8, falling well short of the target.
This win puts Bangladesh on the brink of qualification for the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
Later today, the United States women’s team will face the Netherlands. If the Netherlands win that match, Bangladesh’s place in the World Cup main draw will be confirmed today itself.
Even if the USA emerge victorious, Bangladesh remain in a strong position.
One win from their remaining two matches or even a single abandoned match will be enough to seal their spot in the main tournament.
