The remaining teams qualified through the Woman’s World Cup Qualifier tournament held in February this year.

Ten teams entered the tournament hoping to book their spot in the World Cup. Of the ten, Pakistan, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka topped the log, making up the other half of the eight competing for the World Cup title. Teams that missed out this year included Bangladesh, Ireland and Scotland.
