Sri Lanka opener Chamari Athapaththu and England bowlers Sarah Glenn and Lauren Bell have made notable progress in the ICC Women\u2019s T20I Player Rankings after some fine performances over the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Athapaththu\u2019s match-winning knock of 102 against Scotland in the final of the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup Qualifier has helped the captain move up two places to seventh position among batters, just one off her career-best sixth position attained in April this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Athapaththu, who is currently ranked number one in the ODI batting rankings, has also moved up to fifth among all-rounders in the T20I rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glenn\u2019s haul of four for 12 and Bell\u2019s figures of three for 22 in the first of their three-match series against Pakistan in Birmingham saw them move up to fourth and seventh positions respectively, Bell moving past 700 rating points for the first time in her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
England\u2019s 53-run win in Birmingham also resulted in several other gains for the home team\u2019s players. Captain Heather Knight, whose knock of 49 led to a remarkable recovery from 11 for four, has advanced four places to 18th<\/sup> position. Player of the Match Amy Jones, who smashed 37 off 27 balls at her home ground in her 100th<\/sup> T20I appearance, has moved up three places to 26th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the latest weekly update that also considers performances in the last T20I of the five-match bilateral series in Bangladesh that India won 5-0, India\u2019s left-arm spinner Radha Yadav has moved up seven places to 23rd<\/sup> position after her three-wicket haul, while captain Harmanpreet Kaur (up three places to 13th<\/sup>), Richa Ghosh (up two places to 23rd<\/sup>) and Dayalan Hemlatha (up 298 places to 78th<\/sup>) are among others to progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papua New Guinea\u2019s Tanya Ruma (up three places to joint-27th<\/sup>), Zimbabwe\u2019s Modester Mupachikwa (up two places to 41st<\/sup>) and Sri Lanka\u2019s Nilakshi de Silva (up two places to 48th<\/sup>) are among others to move up the batting rankings while Sri Lanka\u2019s Inoshi Fernando (up five places to 19th<\/sup>), Bangladesh\u2019s Marufa Akter (up two places to 27th<\/sup>) and Sri Lanka\u2019s Udeshika Prabhodhani (up five places to 30th) have progressed in the bowling rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (ICC)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sri Lanka opener Chamari Athapaththu and England bowlers Sarah Glenn and Lauren Bell have made notable progress in the ICC Women\u2019s T20I Player Rankings after some fine performances over the past week.
