Australia opener Beth Mooney has grabbed the top spot for batters in the MRF Tyres ICC Women’sT20I Player Rankings after helping her team win the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup for the fifth time. Mooney scored 259 runs at an average of 64 in six innings, the highest aggregate by anyone at a single edition of the competition and was named Player of the Tournament. Mooney has topped the rankings for the first time, having reached number two in March 2018.

India opener Shafali Verma slipped to the third position after grabbing the top spot at the end of the league of the tournament while New Zealand’s Suzie Bates remains in the second position in the latest update carried out after the knockout stage.

Mooney’s opening partner Alyssa Healy has risen two slots to the fifth position after a blistering 39-ball 75 in the final against India while South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt has advanced 13 slots to reach a career-best 31st place after a valiant 27-ball 41 in their semifinal against Australia.

Australia left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen is at a career-best 728 points and fifth place, her best position since a career-best fourth ranking in November 2017. Her team-mates Sophie Molineux and Delissa Kimmince have advanced 10 places each to reach joint-16th and 31st places, respectively.

Smriti Mandhana slips to seventh position after a poor World Cup

India’s Deepti Sharma has advanced 10 slots to reach 43rd position among batters and is among the top five all-rounders for the first time. Meanwhile, India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has slipped to the seventh place in the batting rankings with 694 points to her name. She endured a pretty poor T20 World Cup scoring only 49 runs in four outings at a mediocre average of 12.25.

Even Harmanpreet Kaur didn’t have a tournament to remember as she could muster only 30 runs in five outings extending her poor form in the lead up to the tournament.
