India’s fast bowler Renuka Singh Thakur has jumped six places to fifth position among T20 bowlers in the ICC women’s rankings. At the same time, Deepti Sharma is present at second place, while Pakistan’s left arm spinner Sadia Iqbal has again come on top. Saadia had performed brilliantly in the T20 series against South Africa. He took a total of five wickets in three matches. During this, he took three wickets for just 18 runs in a single innings.
Sadia jumped two places
Saadia Iqbal has jumped two places. In this list, she has defeated Australia’s fast bowler Annabel Sutherland and India’s experienced spinner Deepti Sharma. Sutherland had achieved the number one ranking only last month, but Iqbal’s consistent performance and strong match-winning bowling has now brought him back to the top. Pakistan captain Fatima Sana has improved a lot in the ranking after her all-round performance in the last match of the series. 24-year-old Fatima has climbed 31 places to 28th in the rankings for T20 batsmen and has moved up five places in the list of all-rounders in women’s T20 cricket. Fatima played an inning of 47 runs in the third T20 match against South Africa. He was chosen Player of the Match for this brilliant performance. In this series, Sana took two wickets by playing innings of 90, 9 and 47* runs. He was also named Player of the Series.
Indian bowlers benefited
In the list of bowlers, England’s Sophie Ecclestone has moved up one place to third place. Pakistan’s Nashra Sandhu has moved up one place to ninth position. Meanwhile, many Indian bowlers were rewarded for their hard work in the rain-affected opening match of the T20 series in Australia. Arundhati Reddy moved up 19 places to 16th position and Sri Charani moved up 8 places to 39th position.
