Another Pakistan spinner - Sadia Iqbal - remains at the top of the rankings for T20I bowlers after her six wickets across the Zimbabwe series, with another tweaker in Tuba Hassan jumping 16 spots to 44th after some decent efforts from the same series.
There were big gains on the list for T20I batters for Ayesha Zafar (equal 52nd) and Eyman Fatima (89th), with the pair rising from outside the top 100 ahead of the T20 World Cup on the back of some decent knocks against Zimbabwe.
There are also gains on the latest ODI rankings following the completion of the three-match series between England and New Zealand and it's in-form pacer Lauren Bell that makes the biggest impression following her five wickets across the series that finished tied at 1-1.
Bell shoots up three spots to 18th with a new career-high rating on the list for ODI bowlers, while the tall pacer also improves three spots to 22nd on the rankings for ODI all-rounders.
