One day status
2011 was an important year for the Bangladesh women's cricket team. On November 24, 2011, Bangladesh was granted the One day status after defeating USA by 9 wickets in the 2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier. This win against USA guaranteed that Bangladesh would finish in the top 6 in the tournament and thus be ranked in the top 10 globally, which is the requirement for attaining one day status.[3]
