Dubai: The Indian cricket team started their campaign in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup with a great win against Pakistan in their first match. Harmanpreet Kaur’s team snatched victory by one run. Deepti Sharma was behind India’s victory in the match. His bowling performance was a bright side in the game. The star all-rounder took 5 wickets for 10 runs in his 4 over spell. This time as his own reward, Deepti came up in the ICC rankings. Shri Charani also made good progress.

Deepti won the man of the match award against Pakistan. She moved up five places to number five in the women’s T20I bowlers’ rankings. Besides, Deepti has also improved in the list of all-rounders. He has moved up two places in the ICC rankings to third place. In the list of bowlers, Sri Charan also reached a career best. Charani is second. Charani took 3 wickets for 21 runs in his 4 over spell against Pakistan. Charani has advanced five steps. He currently holds 728 rating points.

Smriti Mandhana is ranked fifth in the batting order. But Harmanpreet Kaur is ranked 10th to 11th. Australia’s Georgia Vol remains at the top of the Twenty20 batsmen, with Laura Woolward second and Beth Mooney third. On the other hand, New Zealand captain Amelia Kerr has lost her top spot in the all-rounder rankings, leaving West Indies star Healy Mathews at the top with 471 rating points.

Star Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma has so far taken a total of 354 wickets in all formats of international cricket. Now he needs just 2 wickets to reach a new milestone on the world stage. If Deepti can take two wickets in the next match for India, she will surpass Jhulan Goswami with 355 wickets to become the highest wicket-taker in international cricket. In that case, it goes without saying that Deepti who is in form can give Jhulan an ace. It should be noted that after defeating Pak in the first match of the T20 World Cup, the team led by Harmanpreet Kaur will take on the field against the Netherlands in Leeds on Wednesday, June 17. Smriti, Harmanpreet, Richa got runs with the bat in the previous match, but the rest of the batting department could not get the runs, which could be a cause of concern for Amal Majumdar.
