Deepti Sharma Climbs Bowling Rankings, Smriti Mandhana Tops Batting Charts in Latest ICC Women's T20I Rankings

In the most recent ICC Women's T20I bowling rankings, which were released on Tuesday, India's Deepti Sharma jumped one position to tie for second, while colleague Renuka Singh also went up to 10th.

The South African spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba fell three spots to fifth after taking one wicket in two games against Australia, which was a major factor in Deepti's ascent.

Similarly, Sadia Iqbal of Pakistan moved up one position to share second place with Deepti. After moving up a rung, Sarah Glenn of England was in fourth place. Sophie Ecclestone of England remained unchallenged at the top of the T20I bowlers' rankings.

The top 10 all-rounders in the most recent T20I rankings remained unchanged, with Deepti holding the fourth position.

India vice captain Smriti Mandhana continued to be the top-ranked batsman, sitting in fourth position; Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, and Harmanpreet Kaur all held their positions as 13th, 16th, and 17th, respectively.

In the T20I batting rankings, Australia's Beth Mooney surpassed her countrymate Tahlia McGrath with an outstanding effort against South Africa.

In the game's shortest format, Mooney has already struck two half-centuries in the new year. However, her most remarkable recent effort came in a Player of the Match match in Canberra, when she hit an incredible 72 not out from only 57 deliveries.

After scoring 24 and 23 in Australia's first two Twenty20 International series matches against South Africa, McGrath is now in second position, while Proteas skipper Laura Wolvaardt is still in third.
