The latest ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings have brought significant changes, with Australia’s Georgia Voll and New Zealand captain Amelia Kerr claiming the No.1 spots in batting and all-rounder categories respectively. Their rise comes on the back of standout performances in recent series.
New Zealand secured a 4-1 T20I series win over South Africa before the Proteas edged a two-wicket victory in the first ODI of the ongoing series. Meanwhile, Australia swept West Indies 3-0 in T20Is and followed it up by sealing the ODI series with a 90-run win on March 29.
Batting Rankings: Voll Climbs to the Top
Australia opener Georgia Voll (815 points) has moved to No.1 in the ICC Women’s T20I batting rankings, overtaking teammate Beth Mooney after a sharp rise of eight places. Her surge was driven by a dominant showing in the Caribbean, including a 101 off 53 balls in the third T20I against West Indies in St Vincent.
That innings also made her the fourth youngest player to score centuries in both white-ball formats at 22 years and 230 days. Mooney, who had held the top position since January 2024, drops down as Voll takes over at the summit.
Amelia Kerr also made gains, finishing as the top run-scorer in the T20I series against South Africa with 276 runs at a strike rate of 158.62 and an average of 55.20 across five innings, including both a century and a half-century. She now sits in sixth place with 730 points.
India’s Jemimah Rodrigues has moved up one place to joint 10th (644 points) alongside South Africa’s Tazmin Brits. New Zealand’s Georgia Plimmer climbed one spot to 44th (477 points) after scoring 124 runs in the series, while South Africa’s Annerie Dercksen rose four places to 51st (441 points) with 114 runs.
Brooke Halliday of New Zealand moved up seven spots to 64th (383 points). Sri Lanka’s Vishmi Gunaratne advanced to 68th (374 points), while England’s Sophie Ecclestone rose to 69th (371 points). Lucy Barnett (Isle of Man) now sits 70th (368 points), and Sri Lanka’s Imesha Dulani is 71st (355 points).
Shemaine Campbelle (West Indies) and Kavisha Dilhari (Sri Lanka) share 73rd (349 points), while Chinelle Henry (West Indies) moved to 79th (342 points).
Bowling Rankings: Iqbal Retains Top Spot
Pakistan’s Sadia Iqbal continues to lead the T20I bowling rankings, though the competition is tightening. Amelia Kerr climbed three places to 10th after her five-wicket effort against South Africa.
India’s Renuka Singh moved up to fifth (712 points), while Arundhati Reddy climbed to ninth (697 points). Australia’s Megan Schutt edged up to 16th (653 points).
West Indies captain Hayley Matthews rose three spots to 19th (630 points) after taking four wickets in the series. New Zealand’s Lea Tahuhu jumped 12 places to joint 27th (576 points) alongside India’s Shree Charani.
South Africa’s Ayabonga Khaka moved up to 33rd (553 points) after claiming eight wickets, while Australia’s Alana King rose 12 spots to 65th (421 points). New Zealand’s Sophie Devine advanced to 66th (419 points) after taking nine wickets in the series.
South Africa’s Tumi Sekhukhune climbed to 78th (403 points), while West Indies’ Jahzara Claxton jumped to 99th (331 points).
All-Rounder Rankings: Kerr Takes the Crown
Amelia Kerr (508 points) has moved to No.1 in the T20I all-rounder rankings, ending Hayley Matthews’ 29-month reign that began in October 2023. Her performance in the series against South Africa, where she scored 276 runs and took five wickets, played a decisive role in the rise.
Sri Lanka’s Kavisha Dilhari moved up to 11th (217 points), while New Zealand’s Jess Kerr is now 26th (135 points). Australia’s Ellyse Perry climbed to joint 34th (114 points) alongside New Zealand’s Rosemary Mair after contributing 96 runs and one wicket.
South Africa’s Annerie Dercksen moved to joint 40th (107 points), while Lea Tahuhu climbed to 42nd (105 points). Ayabonga Khaka advanced to 44th (101 points).
Alana King rose to joint 69th (70 points) alongside Darcie Brown and Zimbabwe’s Kelis Ndhlovu. West Indies’ Zaida James climbed to joint 78th (66 points) with England’s Alice Capsey.
