Deepti Sharma rises to joint second in ICC women's T20I bowling rankings, while Smriti Mandhana remains fourth in batting rankings.
India's Deepti Sharma rose one place to joint second, while teammate Renuka Singh moved up a spot to 10th in the latest ICC women's T20I bowling rankings issued on January 30.
Sharma’s rise was largely due to South Africa spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba dropping three places from earlier second to fifth after one wicket from two games against Australia.
Similarly, Pakistan's Sadia Iqbal took the joint second spot with Sharma after moving up one place. England's Sarah Glenn was at fourth after rising a rung.
England spinner Sophie Ecclestone maintained a healthy lead at the top of the T20I rankings for bowlers.
There was no change within the top 10 of the latest T20I rankings for all-rounders with Sharma retaining the fourth spot.
Among batters, Indian vice-captain Smriti Mandhana is the highest ranked Indian as she remained at the fourth spot. Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma and Harmanpreet Kaur were unchanged at 13th, 16th and 17th spots respectively.
Australia's Beth Mooney overtook compatriot Tahlia McGrath at the top of the T20I rankings for batters after a splendid innings against South Africa.
