The Bangladesh women's national cricket team is the team that represents the country of Bangladesh in international women's cricket matches. They made their international debut when they played, and won, two matches against Thailand in July 2007[9] before participating in and winning the 2007 ACC Women's Tournament.[10] Bangladesh were granted One-Day International (ODI) status in 2011 after finishing fifth in the 2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier. They subsequently qualified for the 2014 ICC Women's World Twenty20 as hosts, making their first appearance at a top-level women's international tournament. They have also won the 2018 edition of ACC Women's Asia Cup. This was the only instance in ACC Women's Asia Cup where any team other than India won the tournament. However, they finished fifth in the next edition (2022 edition) of Women's Asia Cup, but has since went on to become one of the most competitive women's cricket teams in Asia. The team made its first World Cup appearance at the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup, and has participated in every edition of the World Twenty20 since making its debut at the 2014 edition.

On 24 November 2011, Bangladesh women's team was granted ODI status after defeating USA by 9 wickets in the 2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier. This win against USA guaranteed that Bangladesh would finish in the top 6 in the tournament and thus be ranked in the top 10 globally, which was the requirement for attaining ODI status.[11] In April 2021, the ICC awarded permanent Test and One Day International (ODI) status to all full member women's teams.[12]

History

2018 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup

At the 2018 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup in Malaysia, Bangladesh qualified for the final by winning 4 of their 5 matches, before beating India in the final, thus becoming the first team other than India to win an Asia Cup Title.

2022 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup

Bangladesh made their debut at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in 2022, qualifying on the basis of their WODI ranking after the qualifying tournament was abandoned during the group stage, with Bangladesh having a 2–1 record at the point of abandonment, with wins over Pakistan and the US, and a loss to Thailand. They would go on to finish 7th with a 1–6 record, with a win over Pakistan. As a result of their qualification for the World Cup, they also qualified for the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.

2022 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup

Bangladesh hosted the Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup in 2022, finishing 5th place with 2 wins, 3 losses, and 1 no-result from 6 matches.

2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup

Bangladesh qualified for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup by winning the qualifying tournament in 2022. Drawn in group A, the team lost all 4 of their matches.

2024 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup

Bangladesh automatically qualified for the 2024 Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup as a full-member, and reached the semifinals.

2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup

Bangladesh had originally been slated to host the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup and therefore automatically qualified; however, political unrest in Bangladesh caused it to be moved to the United Arab Emirates instead. Bangladesh won their first game in the finals since they last hosted the tournament in 2014, beating Scotland, but was otherwise eliminated in the group stage.

2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup

Bangladesh qualified for 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup after finishing 2nd with a 3–2 record, ahead of the West Indies on net run rate at the qualifying tournament.
