Sri Lanka opener Chamari Athapaththu and England bowlers Sarah Glenn and Lauren Bell have made notable progress in the ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings after some fine performances over the past week.
Athapaththu's match-winning knock of 102 against Scotland in the final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier has helped the captain move up two places to seventh among batsmen, just one off her career-best sixth position in April this year.
Athapaththu, who is currently number one in the ODI batting rankings, has also moved up to fifth in the T20I all-round rankings.
Glenn's haul of four for 12 and Bell's three for 22 in the first of the three-match series against Pakistan in Birmingham moved them up to fourth and seventh respectively, with Bell passing 700 rating points for the first time in her career.
England's 53-run win in Birmingham also led to several other achievements for the home side's players. Captain Heather Knight, whose knock of 49 led a remarkable recovery from 11 for four, has climbed four places to 18th in the rankings. Player of the Match Amy Jones, who smashed 37 off 27 balls in her 100th T20I on home soil, has moved up three places to 26th.
In the latest weekly update, which includes performances in the final T20I of the five-match bilateral series in Bangladesh, which India won 5-0, India's left-arm spinner Radha Yadav climbs seven places to 23rd following her three-wicket haul, while captain Harmanpreet Kaur (up three places to 13th), Richa Ghosh (up two places to 23rd) and Dayalan Hemlatha (up 298 places to 78th), among others, move up.
Papua New Guinea's Tanya Ruma (up three places to 27th), Zimbabwe's Modester Mupachikwa (up two places to 41st) and Sri Lanka's Nilakshi de Silva (up two places to 48th) are among the batsmen who have moved up the rankings, while Sri Lanka's Inoshi Fernando (up five places to 19th) has moved up, Bangladesh's Marufa Akter (up two places to 27th) and Sri Lanka's Udeshika Prabhodhani (up five places to 30th) have moved up the bowling rankings.
