Iqbal turns into No. 1 Ranking T20I bowler before Ecclestone grabs it back

Sadia Iqbal momentarily turned into the principal player from Pakistan to top an ICC ladies' T20I player rankings table when she surpassed Sophie Ecclestone to turn into the highest level bowler on the planet. It didn't keep going long, however, as Ecclestone grabbed it back before the week's over when the updates were disclosed. Ecclestone has been the highest level ladies' T20I bowler since February 2020 - and keeps on being - however for a couple of days throughout the week past, the privileged position had a place with Iqbal. Iqbal originally drew level with Ecclestone subsequent to taking 3 for 17 against Sri Lanka in Pakistan's ladies' T20 World Cup opener. Ecclestone, in her most memorable match of the World Cup, returned 0 for 21, and slipped behind Iqbal subsequently. Be that as it may, Iqbal then, at that point, took 1 for 23 against India, and Ecclestone returned quickly with a Player-of-the-Game dominating 2 for 15 against South Africa to guarantee the best position once more. There's simply an eight-point hole (762 and 754) between the two, however, so it's very conceivable that the positions could change again before the World Cup is finished. In that capacity, left-arm spinner Iqbal is having her greatest year in T20Is. Among all players at the World Cup, she has the most wickets in 2024 - 28 wickets in 17 games. Sana Mir, the previous Pakistan skipper, is the main other Pakistan lady cricketer to top an ICC player table - she was the highest level ODI bowler in 2018-19. The tussle at the highest point of the T20I bowlers' rankings to the side, various different players have made outstanding developments as the World Cup has worn on. Among hitters, Suzie Bates' 27 against India has lifted her two spots to seventh, while Harmanpreet Kaur ultimately depends on twelfth, a leap of four spots, after her 15 against New Zealand and 29 (resigned hurt) against Pakistan. One of the top entertainers at the World Cup up until this point has been Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who has up until this point hit 41 and 43 against Bangladesh and South Africa, individually, assisting Britain with dominating both matches. That is lifted her from No. 20 to joint eighteenth, where she is joined by colleague Nat Sciver-Brunt, who was nineteenth last week, after she scored 48 not out in that frame of mind over South Africa. Among bowlers, Megan Schutt has risen nine spots to enter the main ten at No. 10 subsequent to getting 3 for 12 against Sri Lanka. Inside the main five, Sarah Glenn is up one spot to third, behind Ecclestone and Iqbal, subsequent to getting a wicket in every one of Britain's two games up until this point. Beneath her, Debris Gardner is up three spots to 6th and Rabeya Khan is up one spot to No. 9. Nonkululeko Mlaba, who set up South Africa's initial win against West Indies with returns of 4 for 29, and has since gotten 1 for 22 against Britain, has zoomed up nine spots to thirteenth.
