ICC Women's T20 Ranking: India’s vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and all-rounder Deepti Sharma have maintained their third-place rankings in the latest ICC Women's T20I batter and bowler rankings, respectively, as per the latest update released on Tuesday.

Among Indian batters, Mandhana remains the only player in the top 10. Harmanpreet Kaur is positioned at 11th, while Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma occupy the 15th and 16th spots, respectively.

The batters’ rankings continue to be dominated by Australia’s Beth Mooney, who extended her lead at the top following impressive scores of 75 and 70 against New Zealand*. Her teammate Tahlia McGrath holds the second position.

Meanwhile, Australia’s rising star Phoebe Litchfield climbed three spots to reach 22nd place, thanks to a solid 32-run knock in the second match against New Zealand.

Star all-rounder Melie Kerr gained two places on the list for T20I batters following her innings of 40 in the second match of the series against Australia, while fellow New Zealander Georgia Plimmer improved 20 spots to move to 50th on the back of some consistent innings at the top of the order over the last month.

Deepti continued to occupy her third spot among bowlers behind England's Sophie Ecclestone and Sadia Iqbal of Pakistan.

The plaudits continue to arrive for Annabel Sutherland as the Australian all-rounder reached a new career-high rating on the latest ICC Women's T20I bowling rankings.

Sutherland, who has featured in the ICC Women's ODI Team of the Year in the last two years and won the ICC Women's Player of the Month award twice in 2024, reached a new personal best rating for T20I bowlers and leaped two places to the fourth spot after her four-wicket haul against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui.

The right-armer collected four wickets as Australia bowled the White Ferns out for just 122 in reply to their massive total of 204/3 and in the process opened up an unassailable 2-0 advantage in the three-game series.

Darcie Brown, meanwhile, moved 12 spots to reach 18th overall following figures of 2/23 against New Zealand in the second game of their series.

Kerr remains in second place behind West Indies' Hayley Matthews in the rankings for T20I all-rounders, with McGrath (up three rungs to 18th) and Sutherland (up one spot to 21st) among the biggest movers this week.
