Beth Mooney back on top of T20I batting table

Beth Mooney has risen to the top of the Women's T20I batting rankings, passing teammate Georgia Voll, who had an average time of it in Australia's title-winning run, scoring 130 runs in seven innings, with a 49-ball 64 in the final of the T20 World Cup against England and 238 runs overall in seven innings, earning her the Player-of-the-Tournament award. Mooney, who was named Player of the Match for her performance in the final, which Australia won by seven wickets to claim their seventh title, is currently the No. One of the best T20I batters in the world five times, with a combined tenure of more than four years. Mooney's temperament for big games was exemplified by his World Cup performance, particularly in the final. She now has half-centuries in four global tournament finals in a row. She had also been the Player of the Match in the final of the 2023 T20 World Cup for her 53-ball 74 not out as Australia beat South Africa by 19 runs. In addition to her accomplishment at the 2020 home T20 World Cup, Mooney is the first player to win multiple Player-of-the-Tournament awards at World Cups. After the T20 World Cup, Nat Sciver-Brunt's 75 in that match and 58 not out in the final helped her rise five spots to 16th, while Tazmin Brits moved up three places to 11th after scoring 51 against England. N Shree Charani has held on to the top spot in the T20I bowlers' rankings, while Sophie Ecclestone has gone past team-mate Charlie Dean to second place after taking a wicket each in the semi-final and the final. Marizanne Kapp has moved back into the top ten after going 1 for 16 from four overs in the semi-final, and Kim Garth's economical run in the final, when she went 1 for 20 from four overs, has moved her up five spots to 15th.
