Bangladesh women's team will look to continue form as they take on Ireland in their second match of the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier in Lahore today (3:00 pm, Bangladesh time).

The Tigresses made a dominant start to the tournament, riding on captain Nigar Sultana Joty's hundred to thrash Thailand by 178 runs and register their biggest win in this format, giving them a huge advantage in net run rate.

Meanwhile, Ireland have lost both their games to Pakistan and West Indies so far in the tournament, despite having showcased fighting spirit in both contests.

A win for Bangladesh at the Gaddafi Stadium will place them level on points with leaders Pakistan in the six-team competition -- which will determine the two teams advancing to September–October's main event in India -- given the West Indies, who started their campaign with a defeat to Scotland, are likely to climb the points table.

Joty and company yesterday had an extensive practice session in hot and humid conditions in Lahore, and according to team officials, all players are in good health.

Bangladesh have so far faced Ireland in nine WODIs, winning six matches and losing one, while two ended without result.
