Dubai, Aug 20 (IANS) Sri Lanka’s Harshitha Samarawickrama and Ireland’s Gaby Lewis have achieved career-high positions in the ICC Women’s T20I rankings following their impressive performances in the recently concluded T20I series in Dublin, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Samarawickrama, who played a crucial knock of 65 off 44 balls in the second T20I, moved up three spots to reach 13th position in the T20I rankings. On the other hand, Lewis’ stunning match-winning 119 off 75 balls, which included 17 boundaries and two sixes, helped her jump four places to 21st position, matching her career-best ranking from July 2022.
The latest rankings update, announced on Tuesday, considers performances from the second T20I as well as the first two matches of the ongoing ICC Women’s Championship (IWC) ODI series between Sri Lanka and Ireland. Ireland, who have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, saw several players make significant progress in the rankings.
