Voll Enters Top 10 for the First Time

Australia opener Georgia Voll’s quick knock of 39 in the second match of the series against the West Indies has helped her enter the top 10 of the ICC Women’s T20I Batting Rankings for the first time while New Zealand star Sophie Devine’s two successive half-centuries against South Africa have helped her move up two places to 18th in the list.

The latest rankings update that takes into consideration the first two matches of the series in the West Indies, also sees 15-year-old Fanny Utagushimaninde of Rwanda enter the rankings in 66th position after becoming the first woman to score a century on T20I debut (against Ghana) and the youngest of either gender to score a century in the format.

The ICC Emerging Player of the Year in 2024, Annerie Dercksen, has moved up 18 places to 55th after an unbeaten 55 in the fourth match of the series in New Zealand.

All-rounders Ellyse Perry of Australia (up two places to 20th) and Qiana Joseph of the West Indies (up 14 places to 33rd) have made notable progress in the batting rankings with Maddy Green (up two places to 44th) and Stafanie Taylor (up two places to 48th) also registering gains.

The T20I bowling rankings see left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba enter the top 10, her five wickets in three matches lifting her from 11th to ninth while Australia leg-spinner Georgia Wareham has moved from 16th to 12th after picking three wickets in two matches.

New Zealand’s Jess Kerr has attained a career-best 15th position after grabbing eight wickets in the first four matches of the series against South Africa that includes a series-clinching three for 16 in Wellington.

Ayabonga Khaka (up five places to 36th) and Kim Garth (up 35 places to 44th) have also advanced.
