ICC Ranking: There has been a big change in the latest ICC Women’s T20 batting rankings, where Australia’s young batsman Georgia Voll has captured the number-1 position on the basis of her brilliant performance. Wall topped the list with 815 rating points, which is also the best performance of his career so far.
The dominance of Australian players is clearly visible in this ranking. Australia’s Beth Mooney is in second place with 788 points, who was earlier on the number-1 position. Indian opening batsman and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has now slipped to third place, whereas earlier she was at second place.
This ranking has brought mixed news for the Indian team. Smriti Mandhana remains at the third position, but she has lost one place. He has 770 rating points.
Shafali Verma has also suffered a loss of two places and has now slipped to eighth place. Despite Shefali’s aggressive batting, lack of consistency in her recent performances cost her dearly.
However, India’s Jemimah Rodrigues has gained one place and has reached 10th position, which is a positive sign for the team.
West Indies’ Hayley Matthews is at fourth position, while South Africa’s captain Laura Wolvaardt remains at fifth position.
New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr has jumped two places to sixth place, which shows her excellent form. While Australia’s Tahlia McGrath is at seventh position, while Sri Lanka’s Chamari Athapaththu is at ninth position.
There is a tough competition between the players of Australia and India in the list of top-10 batsmen. While Australia occupies the top position with 3 players, India has three players present in this list.
This competition is going to get even more interesting in the coming tournaments, especially when both the teams face each other.
Experts believe that the change in rankings reflects the recent form and consistency of the players. Georgia Wall’s leap is a result of her stellar performance, while the Indian batsmen need to work on their consistency.
