The Bangladesh Women`s began their ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers campaign in spectacular fashion, securing a 178-run victory over Thailand at the Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA) ground in Lahore of Pakistan.

The Tigresses set a new benchmark by posting a formidable 271-3 in their 50 overs.

This total marks their highest ever in Women`s One Day Internationals (WODIs), surpassing their previous best of 252-4 achieved against Ireland in Mirpur.

This dominant performance also resulted in Bangladesh`s largest ever victory in their WODI history, eclipsing 154-run win against Ireland in Mirpur last year.

Captain Nigar Sultana led from the front with a breathtaking maiden WODI century in just 80 balls, the fastest ever by a Bangladeshi batter in WODIs.

This broke the previous record held by Fargana Hoque Pinky, who took 156 balls for her century against India in 2023.

Joty also set a new record for the most runs scored in boundaries in a WODI innings for Bangladesh, accumulating 66 runs through fours and sixes.

This surpassed Sharmin Akhter Supta`s previous record of 56 runs in boundaries.

Joty and Sharmin`s 152-run partnership is now Bangladesh`s best ever for the third wicket in WODI matches, beating the previous best of 127 runs between Rumana Ahmed and Sharmin herself.

Bangladesh spinners Fahima Khatun and Jannatul Ferdaus both took five wickets each.

Thailand`s Onnicha Kamchomphu had the worst bowling performance for Thailand by giving 58 runs in 9 overs, the most expensive spell by a Thai bowler in WODIs.

In a remarkable bowling display for Bangladesh, spinners Fahima Khatun and Jannatul Ferdaus each claimed a fifer.
