Chase and Hope Attain Career Bests

All-rounder Roston Chase and captain Shai Hope of the West Indies have achieved career best positions in the ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings after some fine performances in the first two T20Is of their five-match home series against Australia which the visiting side lead 2-0.

Chase, who struck 60 off just 32 balls in the first T20I in Kingston and scored 76 runs in two matches, has advanced 37 places to 98th among batters and seven places to a career-best second position in the all-rounders’ list that is led by India’s Hardik Pandya. Chase’s previous best was the eighth position that he had reached in December last year.

In the latest weekly update that considers performances in the Bangladesh-Pakistan series and those of a tri-series in Zimbabwe also featuring New Zealand and South Africa among other matches this past week, wicketkeeper-batter Hope has attained a career-best 10th position after scoring 64 runs in two matches including a 39-ball 55 in the first match.

Australia captain Mitchell Marsh has gained three slots to reach 23rd position, West Indies’ batter Brandon King is up four places to 30th while the Bangladesh pair of Tanzid Hasan (up 18 places to 37th) and Towhid Hridoy (up two places to 39th) are others to make notable gains in the top 50 of the batting rankings.

Devon Conway of New Zealand and Jaker Ali of Bangladesh are in joint-53rd position after gaining three and 17 places, respectively, while Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman (up eight places to 79th) and Cameron Green of Australia (up 34 places to 88th) have also progressed.

In the bowling rankings, Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman’s three wickets in two matches have lifted him back into the top 10 as he has advanced 17 places to reach ninth position while his team-mates Mehedi Hasan (up nine places to 16th), Tanzim Hasan Sahib (up nine places to 37th) and Shoriful Islam (up 14 places to 43rd) have also moved up the rankings.

New Zealand’s Matt Henry (up 13 places to 29th) and Ish Sodhi (up two places to 33rd), Australia’s Sean Abbott (up eight places to 44th) and Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed (up 12 places to 49th) are others to move up the list.
