Sutherland Dethrones Deepti To Claim Top Spot In T20I Bowlers Rankings
T20I Batting Rankings: Annabel Sutherland has emerged as the biggest gainer in the latest ICC Women’s Rankings update, reclaiming the No.1 position in the T20I bowling rankings following India’s 15-run victory over Sri Lanka in the fifth and final T20I.
The Australian bowler returned to the top spot after India’s Deepti Sharma dropped one place, with both players now tied on a rating of 736, the same rating Sutherland held when she first reached No.1 in August 2025.
Sutherland, the fast-bowling all-rounder, had previously reached the top spot in August 2025 after Pakistan spinner Sadia Iqbal slipped down the rankings. Despite contributing figures of 1/28, Deepti was unable to retain her lead in the bowling rankings and now sits second, just one rating point behind Sutherland. However, her performance ensured she remained third in the ICC Women’s T20I All-Rounder Rankings with 382 points.
