Indian Batters Rise in ICC T20I Rankings After Asia Cup Performances

Indian batters Harmanpreet Kaur and Shafali Verma have made significant strides in the latest ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings, thanks to their impressive performances in the ongoing Women’s Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.

Harmanpreet, the Indian captain, and opener Shafali are now jointly ranked 11th in the T20I batting rankings. Harmanpreet’s unbeaten 5 against Pakistan and 66 against the United Arab Emirates have helped her gain one spot, while Shafali’s scores of 40 and 37 have lifted her four positions.

Sri Lanka’s off-spinner Inoshi Priyadharshani has also made a notable jump, advancing three places to a career-best fourth position after taking two wickets against Bangladesh and one against Malaysia.

Other notable movers in the batting rankings include India’s wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh (up four places to 24th), Bangladesh’s Murshida Khatun (up six places to 47th), Sri Lanka’s Vishmi Gunaratne (up seven places to 51st), and Thailand’s Nattaya Boochatham (up 10 places to 76th).

Among the bowlers, Bangladesh’s Nahida Akter has risen nine places to 21st, while Marufa Akter is up one place to 26th. Sri Lanka’s Udeshika Prabodhani has progressed four places to 30th, and India’s Shreyanka Patil has surged 19 places to 41st.

England captain Heather Knight has re-entered the top 20 in the batting rankings, gaining two spots after scoring a match-winning 46 not out off 31 balls in the final match of their home series against New Zealand. Her teammate, new-ball bowler Lauren Bell, has moved into the top 10 following a three-wicket haul.

New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr has advanced two places to 13th in the batting rankings, while her sister Jess Kerr has moved up five places to joint-42nd in the bowling rankings.

Indian Women's Cricket Team Aims for Composure in T20 World Cup

Indian Women’s Cricket Team Aims for Composure in T20 World Cup

By May 9, 2024 0

Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, has expressed her desire to maintain the composure displayed by her team during their recent 5-0 series sweep against Bangladesh in Sylhet when they return for the T20 World Cup in October.

Unlike their previous encounter in Bangladesh in July 2023, which was marred by controversy, India’s recent performance was marked by several positives. “The calmness all the players showed in the series is something I would like to take to the World Cup,” Harmanpreet said after their 21-run victory in the fifth T20I.

Harmanpreet’s return to form was a significant highlight of the series. After struggling with low scores in the white-ball series against Australia, she scored 30 or more in three out of four innings against Bangladesh. Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana also contributed with multiple 30-plus scores.

D Hemalatha, who returned to the team after 15 months, showcased her power-hitting abilities at No. 3, a position previously occupied by Jemimah Rodrigues. With the ball, Radha Yadav emerged as a standout performer, claiming ten wickets in five matches and earning the Player of the Series award.

Deepti Sharma’s experience proved valuable in containing the opposition, while Shreyanka Patil and Asha Sobhana also made significant contributions. Harmanpreet attributed their success to the confidence and momentum gained during the Women’s Premier League (WPL).

“The WPL gave our players a lot of confidence,” she said. “We improved our game during that time, and those results are showing here.”

India’s next assignment will be a multi-format series against South Africa at home in June-July, followed by the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka and the T20 World Cup in October. Harmanpreet expressed her hope that India will be able to play their best cricket when they return to Sylhet for the World Cup opener against New Zealand.

“This tournament will give us a lot of confidence,” she said. “Whatever we learnt here, we can take that to the World Cup. We are really working hard on that. Hopefully, in the World Cup, we will be able to do whatever we can do. I know our team has that much potential and hopefully, we play our best cricket.”

Mumbai Indians Triumph Over Royal Challengers Bangalore in Women's T20 Challenge

Mumbai Indians Triumph Over Royal Challengers Bangalore in Women’s T20 Challenge

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians Clash in Crucial Women’s T20 Challenge Match

In a highly anticipated match, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) faced off in their final league match of the Women’s T20 Challenge at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The stakes were high, with MI aiming for the top spot and a direct place in the final, while RCB sought a top-three finish.

RCB captain Smriti Mandhana won the toss and elected to bowl first. The pitch was hard and well-prepared, offering a favorable surface for batters. However, fast bowlers were advised to bowl a straighter line to maximize their chances of success.

RCB’s bowling attack, led by Renuka Singh, proved effective in restricting MI’s scoring. Hayley Matthews and Natalie Sciver-Brunt provided a solid start for MI, but wickets fell at regular intervals. Harmanpreet Kaur, the MI captain, played a crucial knock of 37 runs, but it wasn’t enough to propel her team to a substantial total.

In response, RCB’s batting lineup struggled to gain momentum. Sophie Molineux and Ellyse Perry got off to a decent start, but the MI bowlers, particularly Shabnim Ismail and Saika Ishaque, kept them in check. Richa Ghosh, the RCB wicketkeeper, provided some resistance with a quickfire 29, but it was too little too late.

MI ultimately emerged victorious by 15 runs, securing their place at the top of the points table. RCB, despite the loss, finished third and qualified for the playoffs.

After the match, Mandhana expressed her disappointment but acknowledged the importance of finishing in the top three. Kaur, on the other hand, praised her team’s performance and expressed confidence in their chances in the final.

By March 7, 2024 0

Mumbai Indians (MI) overcame early setbacks to post a competitive 160/6 against UP Warriorz in a Women’s Premier League match in New Delhi on March 7.

After losing both openers cheaply, Nat Sciver-Brunt (45 off 31) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (33 off 30) steadied the MI innings with a 59-run partnership. However, the innings gained momentum thanks to Amelia Kerr (39 not out off 23 balls) and Sajeevan Sajana (22 not out off 14 balls), who added 43 runs in the final 4.2 overs.

MI’s innings began with a shaky start as Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Mathews were dismissed within the first four overs by Chamari Athapaththu. Sciver-Brunt played aggressively, hitting eight boundaries, while Harmanpreet played a more cautious role.

Sciver-Brunt’s innings was cut short by Rajeshwari Gayakwad, who deceived her with a quicker delivery. Harmanpreet then took the initiative, hitting a boundary and a maximum off Gayakwad.

UP skipper Alyssa Healy made a crucial bowling change, bringing in Saima Thakor in the 15th over. Thakor dismissed Harmanpreet with her first delivery, and Amanjot Kaur was caught soon after.

However, Kerr and Sajana played some impressive shots towards the end, including a six by Kerr off Deepti Sharma. Their partnership helped MI reach a respectable total.
