Pakistan's record in these events was very good, and I have particularly fond memories of the 2008 edition of the 50-over World Q Qualifier event that I played.

To drive women's cricket forward, regional events and qualifiers are incredibly important.While Sri Lanka and Ireland will likely be favorites to qualify along with Thailand, teams like Scotland, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Uganda and Zimbabwe certainly have the potential to pull off big upsets and reach the semi-finals and eventually the final. ,
