For New Zealand, their highest run-scorer (153), Sophie Devine jumped three places from 11th to the eighth position. She, in the final match against India, scored 72 runs, helping her side inflict a whitewash on the Women in Blue. Not only her but also the White Ferns captain, Amy Satterthwaite’s 87 runs lifted her from the 23rd to the 17th spot.

In the ICC Women’s T20I Rankings for bowlers, India women’s spinner, Radha Yadav moved up eight places to the 10th spot, picking up four wickets. Meanwhile, Deepti Sharma is up five spots to no.14. For hosts, Lea Tahuhu has moved up five slots to 11th position.

All-rounder, Dottin stands tall on all-rounders’ list

As Windies won the three-match T20Is against Pakistan 2-1, their all-rounder, Deandra Dottin stood out as the star performer. Though she moved up two places to be at the third position in the batswomen rankings after scoring 158 runs in the series, the equation is different on the all-rounders’ list. As she also took three wickets, she rose in the bowlers’ chart to the 29th position. However, the complete performance saw her leading the all-rounders’ list.
