Their dominant run at the qualifier has been underpinned by strong contributions across departments, reflected in notable climbs in the individual rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the forefront is top-order batter Sharmin Akhter, who has enjoyed a prolific tournament. With 156 runs from four innings, Sharmin is currently the second-highest run-scorer at the qualifier. Her tally includes two half-centuries, coming against the USA and Ireland, and those performances have propelled her 22 places up the T20I batting rankings to joint 35th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She is not the only Bangladeshi batter to make progress. Sobhana Mostary has also reaped rewards for her consistency, climbing 11 places to joint 52nd after producing four solid innings during the event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Elsewhere in the batting rankings, Ireland captain Gaby Lewis has moved up one place to joint 15th, while the Netherlands\u2019 batter Sterre Kalis has jumped six positions to 48th following her own strong showing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh\u2019s bowlers have also made significant strides. Off-spinner Rabeya Khan has inched up to 14th in the T20I bowling rankings after claiming seven wickets in her side\u2019s first four matches. Fellow spinner Fahima Khatun has risen six spots to 30th on the same list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Elsewhere in the batting rankings, Ireland captain Gaby Lewis has moved up one place to joint 15th, while the Netherlands\u2019 batter Sterre Kalis has jumped six positions to 48th following her own strong showing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>As the qualifier progresses, Bangladesh\u2019s upward momentum on both the field and the rankings table underlines their growing stature in women\u2019s T20 cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
