Therefore, they will have to win at least two matches to qualify for the semi-finals. Though having six points will not confirm a spot in the next round, and they will have to rely on other fixtures. However, Bangladesh will almost certainly move to the knockout stage if they win all three matches. According to the recent updates, Australia are in first place with ten points, followed by South Africa with eight points. The Windies are also in an excellent position with 6 points. India, England, and New Zealand have four points apiece. However, the Kiwis only have one game remaining in the group phase.

Bangladesh national women's cricket team is currently competing in the ICC Cricket World Cup in New Zealand. Bangladesh have a slim chance of putting up a fight against the traditional cricketing heavyweights. They have already suffered big defeats to South Africa and New Zealand in their first two games. However, individually, talented female cricketer Rumana Ahmed can achieve two milestones in the upcoming matches. Let's see what milestones Rumana could be able to attain during the tournament. Expected WODI Milestones for Rumana Ahmed Rumana Ahmed's unwavering consistency has pushed her to greater heights in Bangladesh women’s cricket. She is also one of Bangladesh's best-known female cricketers on the international stage. Let's take a look at the two major milestones that Rumana is approaching. 1,000 WODI Runs Rumana Ahmed made her international debut against the Ireland Women's team in 2011. She has appeared in 44 Women's One-Day Internationals for Bangladesh since then. Rumana has scored 915 runs in 41 innings, averaging 25.41. She just needs 85 runs to reach 1,000 WODI runs for the Tigress. With five more matches to play for Bangladesh in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, Rumana has a genuine chance to achieve that feat. This right-handed batter is now Bangladesh's highest run-scorer for the women's team.

Another member of the Bangladesh women’s cricket team tested positive for Covid-19, a BCB source confirmed on Tuesday.  Earlier, two women cricketers tested positive for Omicron, the newest variant of Covid-19. But the third one is not an Omicron case. Read: Omicron also enters Bangladesh; first 2 cases detected All the three are now in isolation at the Mugda General Hospital. “Another member of the team that toured Zimbabwe tested positive,” Jalal Yunus, the chief of BCB media department, told UNB on Tuesday without mentioning whether the infected person is a cricketer or a member of support staff.  “With two cricketers who had tested earlier, all three were shifted to Mugda General Hospital, but they have been doing very well.” He said that the cricketers were shifted to the hospital due to other arrangement of the hotel where they had been staying. The other members of the women team who were found negative in the latest test are in quarantine in the BCB academy building. They will have to undergo another test on December 19.  The women national team has recently returned home from Zimbabwe after the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier was suspended midway due to the surge of the new variant of Covid-19 which was first detected in South Africa.  Read: Bangladesh logs 3 Covid-linked deaths, 295 fresh infections in 24 hrs After arriving in Dhaka, the cricketers had been maintaining the quarantine period in a Dhaka hotel. On December 6, two cricketers tested positive for Covid-19. Two days later, the health ministry revealed that they were infected with the Omicron variant of the virus which were the first cases of Omicron in Bangladesh. 

The Bangladesh team was competing in the qualifying phase for a spot in the limited-over Women's World Cup in New Zealand. They would have advanced to the Super Six round if the qualification round had not been called off on Saturday (November 27). The ICC had to act quickly after numerous members of the Sri Lankan team tested positive for covid19. Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the West Indies have qualified for the main event based on rankings. Let's have a look at five Bangladesh women cricketers who could make an impact in the ICC ODI World Cup 2022. ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2022: Five Bangladesh Players to watch The Bangladesh Women's team has produced some excellent players over the years. In addition, there are few seasoned players on the current team. Five players have been chosen from among them who can spark in the forthcoming event. Rumana Ahmed M: 42 | Runs: 893 | HS: 75 | Wkts: 45 | BBI: 4/20   Arguably Bangladesh's finest ever female cricketer Rumana Ahmed has been a member of the national team since 2011. She has been one of the Bangladesh Women's team's most consistent performers. All-rounder Rumana Ahmed is Bangladesh's top run-scorer and wicket-taker in one-day internationals. She will undoubtedly be the Tigresses' most important player at the ICC Women's ODI World Cup. Read Chattogram Test: Bangladesh set a target of 202 for Pakistan  Nigar Sultana Joty M: 23 | Runs: 376 | HS: 59*   The current captain of the Bangladesh Women's team Nigar Sultana has been a part of the national team since 2015. She has established herself as a key member of Bangladesh's women's senior team. The BCB named her as skipper of Bangladesh's limited-overs side due to her leadership abilities. Her captaincy role at the World Cup 2022 will be vital for Bangladesh. Fargana Haque M: 41 | Runs: 841 | HS: 69*  Fargana Haque is one of Bangladesh's best top-order batters. She has been a part of Bangladesh's national squad since 2011 and has had a big effect on the development of Bangladesh Women’s cricket. Fargana's primary role at the World Cup will be to anchor the innings from start to finish. The rest of the players will bat around her for a chase or a competitive total. So, this seasoned cricketer will be a valuable asset to the Bangladesh Women's team. Read: Bangladesh Women's Cricket: Success Stories and How can they Improve? Salma Khatun M: 37 | Runs: 397 | HS: 75* | Wkts: 41 | BBI: 3/6 Salma Khatun is Bangladesh's most experienced player and former captain. She has been a member of the national team for almost a decade. Salma has helped Bangladesh win many international matches, and her participation in the forthcoming event will undoubtedly make a difference. Jahanara Alam   M: 40 | Wkts: 38 | BBI: 3/18 Jahanara Alam is Bangladesh's best fast bowler. She has played franchise cricket in India and has had significant success there. Jahanara Alam is Bangladesh's fourth-highest wicket-taker in one-day internationals. She will lead the pace attack for the Tigresses in the ICC ODI World Cup 2022 in New Zealand. Read: Sharmin Akhter hits a century to make history in Bangladesh women’s cricket Bottom Line   Only the women's team has won the Asia Cup among Bangladesh's men's and women's cricket teams. Therefore, Bangladesh's biggest success on the international stage comes first from the national side of women. The Tigresses have made significant improvements in the last four years, and qualifying for the ICC ODI World Cup 2022 in New Zealand is part of that achievement. Expecting the Bangladesh Women's team to achieve great success in the upcoming event will be unreasonable. Because tigresses lack sufficient experience to compete in Oceania region. New Zealand wickets are ideal for pace bowlers, and dealing with the fastest bowlers on quick pitches is always a challenge. However, if the Bangladesh Women's team plays as a unit, they can put stronger opponents to the real test. Read BAN vs PAK 1st Test 2021: The fate of the match could decide on day four

"We’re incredibly disappointed to have to cancel the remainder of this event but with travel restrictions from a number of African countries being imposed at such short notice, there was a serious risk that teams would be unable to return home," said Chris Tetley, the ICC Head of Events. "We’ve explored a number of options to allow us to complete the event but it isn’t feasible and we will fly the teams out of Zimbabwe as soon as possible,” he added.  Bangladesh, Pakistan and the West Indies will now qualify for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 by virtue of their rankings, whilst Sri Lanka and Ireland will also join them in the next cycle of the ICC Women’s Championship," he said.
