ICC Women's T20I Rankings: The International Cricket Conference (ICC) has released its latest Women’s T20I player rankings following the conclusion of the three-match T20I series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Although host nation Sri Lanka sealed the T20I series 2-1 (after having won the ODI series by the same scoreline), key individual performances enabled players from both sides to make notable strides in the individual rankings.

Despite losing both series, Pakistan ended their tour on a positive note by securing a 4-wicket victory in the final T20I.

Pakistan And Sri Lanka Players Make Major Moves

Several individual performers gained significantly in the updated list. Pakistan’s 21-year-old batter Shawaal Zulfiqar was awarded the Player of the Series after finishing as the top run-scorer with 132 runs across three matches. Her impressive run authorized a breakthrough into the Top 50, where she climbed up to the 49th position in the Women’s T20I batting rankings.

In the bowling department, Pakistan spinner Nashra Sandhu moved up one position to secure 8th place. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka’s T20I captain Chamari Athapaththu made a five-place leap to occupy the 36th rank among T20I bowlers.
