Shree Charani retains No. 1 spot in T20I bowling ranking

N Shree Charani has maintained her position as the top women's T20I bowler in the most recent ICC rankings and established a new career rating point record.

The India left-arm spinner has had a busy month, taking 20 wickets in eight innings at an average of 4.85 and an economy rate of 3.3, to win both the T20 Asia Cup and the gold medal at the Asian Games. This includes two four-fors, her career-high 4 for 10 performance against Japan in the Asian Games quarterfinal.

She reached a career high of 817 rating points, surpassing Australia's Megan Schutt's record of 806 in November 2018.

India allrounder Deepti Sharma also solidified her second spot in the women's T20I bowling rankings, followed by England's Sophie Ecclestone in third. In the meantime, Smriti Mandhana's crucial 79 in the Asian Games final against Sri Lanka propelled her back into the top five of the T20I batting rankings.

Hayley Matthews moved up three spots to fourth in the one-day batting rankings after scoring 182 in the first match of the ODI series between Zimbabwe and West Indies, which is currently tied at 1-1. She has also maintained her position as the best T20I all-rounder.

Nyasha Gwanzura of Zimbabwe won the second ODI of the same series with a career-best four-for. She climbed 52 places to No. 156 in the ODI bowling rankings, and her teammate Modester Mupachikwa climbed 16 places to a career-best No. 40 in the batting rankings.
