India's all-rounder Deepti Sharma moved to joint second place in the latest ICC Women's T20I bowling rankings while right-arm fast bowler Renuka Singh Thakur has climbed to the 10th spot in the latest ranking announced by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday. Deepti is now the joint second alongside Pakistan's left-arm off-spinner Sadia Iqbal. Deepti's rise was largely owing to South African spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba sliding from second to fifth place after collecting only one wicket in two games against Australia.

Sophie Ecclestone of England remained the top T20I bowler in the world. Meanwhile, the top ten all-rounder standings remained unchanged, with Deepti holding on to fourth place.

In the batting rankings, India's vice-captain Smriti Mandhana remained fourth, leading all Indian players. Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, and Harmanpreet Kaur remained ranked 13th, 16th, and 17th, respectively.
