Pakistan players move up in latest ICC T20 women's rankings

Several Pakistan players have made notable advances in the latest ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings, reflecting their strong individual performances in the recent series against England.

Despite Pakistan's series loss, the team's efforts have not gone unnoticed. All-rounder Aliya Riaz and opener Sidra Ameen have both climbed the rankings ladder. Riaz has jumped three places to secure the 53rd spot among T20I batters, while Ameen has also moved up three spots to 62nd, thanks to their commendable performances throughout the series.

In the bowlers' rankings, Pakistan pacer Diana Baig made the most significant improvement. Baig's impressive showing, where she took four wickets in just two matches, has propelled her eight places up the rankings to the 46th position. Her consistent ability to claim key wickets has been a bright spot for Pakistan in an otherwise challenging series.

On the England side, several players have also seen their rankings improve following their dominant 3-0 series sweep. Danni Wyatt's outstanding batting display, especially her 87 from 48 deliveries in the final match, saw her climb six places to 16th in the T20I batter rankings. Maia Bouchier's contributions helped her rise seven places to 23rd.

England's bowlers also benefited, with Sophie Ecclestone solidifying her position as the No.1 ranked T20I bowler after taking five wickets in the series. Sarah Glenn moved up one spot to third, thanks to her series-best six wickets at an average of 7.16.

These ranking updates highlight the competitive performances from both sides and the individual brilliance of Pakistan's players, showcasing their potential and growth on the international stage.
