India’s Sree Charani Sets New ICC Women’s T20I Bowling Rating Record

India’s Sree Charani set a new record in the ICC Women’s T20I Bowling Rankings, reaching 817 points and surpassing the previous high of 806 held by Australia’s Megan Schutt. Her two-wicket performance in India’s 147-run Asian Games final victory over Sri Lanka helped cement her top position; Charani had also taken 12 wickets in the Women’s Asia Cup. Smriti Mandhana returned to the T20I batting top five after scoring 79 in the final, while Richa Ghosh and players from Pakistan and Bangladesh also rose in the latest rankings.
Charani also recorded career-best figures of 4/10 against hosts Japan at the Asian Games, helping India reach the semi-finals.
Deepti Sharma rose to second in the T20I bowling rankings with 754 points after taking 3/6 in the final; England’s Sophie Ecclestone was third with 723.
Mandhana’s 79 in the final came as she reached 11,000 international runs, became women’s T20I cricket’s leading run-scorer and became the first Indian woman to hit 100 T20I sixes.
In the separate ODI rankings update, West Indies all-rounder Hayley Matthews moved three places to fourth after scoring a record 182 against Zimbabwe; the series was tied 1-1.
