Pak women were in the England series where they failed to win even a single match. This could possibly get them out of the direct race of World Cup qualification.
Pakistan women’s cricket team lost the third and final match of the England series by 178 runs. The match was played yesterday at Chelmsford and this could potentially get them out of the World Cup through direct qualification.
The women’s team has now played all of their championship matches and are stranded at 17 points. With West Indies and Sri Lanka playing a 3-match series next month they have 14 points each. With one of them winning two matches will go ahead of Pakistan.
