Mathews secure top spot in the ICC Women’s T20I All-Rounder Rankings

NEW DELHi: West Indies captain Hayley Mathews reached the top spot in the ICC Women’s T20I All-Rounder Rankings after producing back-to-back dominating performances against Australia.

With scores of 99 not out and a career-best 132 against Australia. She also moved to No. 7 on the batting rankings while her four wickets in two games took her to No. 5 in the rankings for bowlers.

With seven consecutive Player-of-the-Match awards, Mathews has been in rich form. In her last two matches against Australia, she scored 231 runs off 138 balls, and with the ball, she took 5 wickets, which helped West Indies level the T20I series 1-1 with Australia.

Matthews, who credits her ‘leadership role’, as a factor in her strong performances, now has 480 ranking points - a personal best.

Australia’s Tahlia McGrath (T20I batting) and England’s Sophie Ecclestone (T20I bowling) remain on top of the rankings with Matthews joining them as the No. 1 allrounder. IANS
