April 2 (CRICKETNMORE) - Australia fast bowler Megan Schutt has grabbed the number one ranking among bowlers in the latest ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings after her fine effort in the tri-series in India which saw her grab three for 14 in the final against England to finish with nine wickets in the tournament.
Schutt’s performance not only contributed in her team’s victory in the final but also helped her move up to reclaim a position she held briefly last year, having been at the top of the rankings between 19 and 21 November 2017.
In the latest rankings, which also take into account the three-match series between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, which the latter won 2-1 and the five-match series featuring New Zealand and the Windies, which the former won 4-0, New Zealand’s Leigh Kasperek is another major gainer. The off-spinner has moved up seven places to take the second spot after finishing with 10 wickets in the series. Kasperek’s previous best was the fourth position in November last year.
