Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2026 Points Table: Pakistan Top Group B After Day 1, Both Groups and NRR
Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2026 points table: Pakistan top Group B on +1.674, Sri Lanka lead Group A. Every day 1 result, how NRR works and the Super Six.
Pakistan top Group B of the Women's Emerging Nations Trophy 2026 after the first day, with 2 points and a net run rate of +1.674. Sri Lanka lead Group A on +3.212. Four matches were played in Ajman on Thursday 12 November 2026, and each winner took 2 points. Below are both group tables, every result so far, how net run rate is worked out, and what Pakistan need to reach the Super Six.
We read both group tables on the ICC standings page and the four scorecards on the ICC match centre on Thursday evening. Where we worked out a figure ourselves, we say so.
Group B table: Pakistan first after beating Bangladesh
Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 8 wickets, and the Netherlands beat defending champions Thailand by 5 wickets. Zimbabwe have not played yet.
| Position | Team | Played | Won | Lost | Net run rate | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pakistan | 1 | 1 | 0 | +1.674 | 2 |
| 2 | Netherlands | 1 | 1 | 0 | +0.226 | 2 |
| 3 | Thailand | 1 | 0 | 1 | -0.226 | 0 |
| 4 | Bangladesh | 1 | 0 | 1 | -1.674 | 0 |
| 5 | Zimbabwe | 0 | 0 | 0 | - | 0 |
This is the table as the ICC standings page showed it on Thursday evening, under its Group B tab. We also worked out each net run rate ourselves from the four scorecards, and every figure matched the ICC's to three decimals. The method is explained further down.
Group A table: Sri Lanka and Scotland win
This is the Group A table exactly as the ICC standings page showed it on Thursday evening. The hosts, the UAE, have not played yet.
| Position | Team | Played | Won | Lost | Net run rate | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sri Lanka | 1 | 1 | 0 | +3.212 | 2 |
| 2 | Scotland | 1 | 1 | 0 | +2.565 | 2 |
| 3 | Papua New Guinea | 1 | 0 | 1 | -2.565 | 0 |
| 4 | Ireland | 1 | 0 | 1 | -3.212 | 0 |
| 5 | UAE | 0 | 0 | 0 | - | 0 |
Every result from day one
| Match | Group | Scores | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sri Lanka vs Ireland | A | Ireland 105 for 9; Sri Lanka 110 for 0 (13 overs) | Sri Lanka won by 10 wickets |
| Papua New Guinea vs Scotland | A | PNG 93 all out; Scotland 95 for 3 (13.1 overs) | Scotland won by 7 wickets |
| Pakistan vs Bangladesh | B | Bangladesh 108 for 9; Pakistan 112 for 2 (15.5 overs) | Pakistan won by 8 wickets |
| Netherlands vs Thailand | B | Thailand 136 for 2; Netherlands 137 for 5 (19.3 overs) | Netherlands won by 5 wickets |
The Thailand result was the surprise of the day. Thailand lost only two wickets in their 20 overs but still lost the match. The Netherlands chased 137 with three balls to spare. Pakistan's own win is in our match report.
How net run rate is worked out
Net run rate, or NRR, separates teams level on points. It is your scoring rate minus the scoring rate against you. Here is how Pakistan's +1.674 comes out, step by step.
- Turn overs into decimals. 15.5 overs means 15 overs and 5 balls, which is 15.833 overs.
- Work out Pakistan's rate. 112 runs divided by 15.833 overs is 7.074 runs an over.
- Work out the rate against. Bangladesh made 108 in their 20 overs, which is 5.400 an over.
- Take one from the other. 7.074 minus 5.400 is +1.674.
- A team bowled out counts all its overs. PNG were all out, so their 93 runs count over the full 20 overs. That is why Scotland's rate is +2.565.
Over a tournament, NRR uses total runs and total overs, not an average of each match. So one big win early can keep a team ahead for several days, even after a narrow defeat. That is why Sri Lanka's 10-wicket win in 13 overs gives them such a large lead in Group A.
What Pakistan need to reach the Super Six
The top three teams in each group of five go to the Super Six, the ICC said when it announced the fixtures. Each Super Six team then plays the three qualifiers from the other group, and the top two reach the final on 25 November. Pakistan have three group games left.
| Match | Date | Time (PKT) |
|---|---|---|
| Thailand vs Pakistan | Friday 13 November | 2:15 pm |
| Pakistan vs Netherlands | Sunday 15 November | 10:00 am |
| Zimbabwe vs Pakistan | Monday 16 November | 10:00 am |
Two more wins would put Pakistan on 6 points. With five teams in the group, that would very likely be enough for a top-three place, but ties on points are decided by NRR. Our Pakistan vs Thailand preview covers Friday's match, and the full fixture list is on our schedule page.
