West Indies star, Pakistan spinner the big winners in latest rankings update

Hayley Matthews continues to dominate the T20I rankings, while Pakistan's Sadia Iqbal closes in on England's Sophie Ecclestone at the top of the list for T20I bowlers.

West Indies star Hayley Matthews has made further ground on the latest ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings, while a Pakistan spinner has closed in on No.1 spot for T20I bowlers following the latest update.

Matthews was named Player of the Series during West Indies' recent 4-1 victory over Pakistan in their five-game T20I series, with the talented all-rounder now sitting inside the top five in all three T20I rankings categories.

The 26-year-old moves up one place to third on the updated T20I batter rankings, gains one spot to be fifth on the latest bowler rankings and maintains her healthy lead at the head of the all-rounder category following a superb series against Pakistan that netted 205 runs and seven wickets.

West Indies teammates Shemaine Campbelle (up 16 spots to 70th for batters) and Afy Fletcher (up 16 places to 25th for bowlers) made ground in their respective categories, while Pakistan will be buoyed be the performances of a pair of their players who made inroads in the T20I bowler rankings.
