Big gain in T20I rankings for Australia after Pakistan series whitewash

After the thumping win over Pakistan, few Australia players have moved up in the rankings. Alyssa Healy smashed 59 and 67* in the first and third T20I matches respectively, to go up by 8 spots and achieved No. 12 spot in the ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings with 529 points (with West Indies player Hayley Matthews).



Australia captain Meg Lanning has retained her No. 3 position while opener Beth Mooney's 38, 29 and 21 in the series translated to her moving up the spot to No. 4. All-rounder Ellyse Perry dropped down to No. 9 among the bowlers.



Pace spearhead Megan Schutt not only retained her No. 1 spot but achieved her career-best 724 points. Delissa Kimmince picked up 3 wickets and moved up 24 spots to No. 18. Sophie Molineux has achieved the No. 36 spot, after getting seven wickets in the series. Ashleigh Gardner moved up to 18 spots to No. 58 with South Africa’s Sune Luus. These are their career-best points as well.



Pakistan had a not-so-good series, as they lost the T20I series by 64 runs, 6 wickets and 9 wickets respectively, and that was affected the players' rankings as well. Anam Amin, who had 646 points, currently is at No. 4 position with 608 points. Along with her, Nida Dar too has slipped from her place.
