Australia who won the women’s T20 World Cup for the third time in a row witnessed gains among their own players as well. Ashleigh Gardner, already the top-ranked allrounder, consolidated her position by scoring 110 runs and grabbing 10 wickets in the tournament. Also, with seven wickets at an economy rate of 5, Darcie Brown moved up five spots to No. 3 on the bowlers’ rankings. Sophie Ecclestone remains at No. 1 and having had a good tournament herself – 11 wickets in five matches – she is now just the second person in history to go past 800 rating points in the Women’s T20I bowlers’ rankings. Australia fast bowler Megan Schutt peaked at 805 in 2019 and is the only other woman to reach that barrier. Ecclestone is currently on 801 rating points.
