Several international stars who excelled in the recent Women's Asia Cup have achieved career-high ratings and made significant strides in the latest ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings.

India's Smriti Mandhana, opening batsman, led her team with a stellar 60-run knock in the Asia Cup final, propelling her to a career-best rating in the T20I batter rankings. She climbed one spot to fourth place, just behind Australia's Beth Mooney.

Chamari Athapaththu, the inspirational captain of Sri Lanka, soared three places to sixth on the T20I batter rankings, achieving her highest-ever rating after being named Player of the Tournament for her extraordinary performance. Athapaththu amassed a remarkable 304 runs at an average exceeding 100 during the tournament.

Muneeba Ali of Pakistan also achieved a career-high rating, rising six places to 35th in the T20I batter rankings due to her impressive performance in the Asia Cup.

On the T20I bowlers' rankings, Pakistan's Sadia Iqbal reached a career-high rating, moving up one place to fourth, behind England's Sophie Ecclestone. Sadia's impressive eight wickets at an average of just 8.37 in the Asia Cup contributed to her rise.
