Pakistan's Sadia Iqbal retains top spot in ICC Women's T20 bowler rankings

(Web Desk): Pakistani spinner Sadia Iqbal continues to hold the top position in the latest ICC Women's T20 Bowler Rankings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

According to details, the global governing body of cricket released the updated ICC Women's T20 rankings on Tuesday.

Left-arm spinner Sadia Iqbal from the Pakistan women's team has maintained her number one position in the ICC Women's T20 International Bowlers Rankings.

Sadia Iqbal recently played a key role in Pakistan's success during the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifiers held in Lahore, where she took 9 wickets at an average of 16. She was also selected for the tournament's best team.

According to the ICC's official statement, Sadia Iqbal remains at the top of the T20 bowler rankings, but the competition is intense, with only a 44 rating-point difference between the top 10 players.

The statement also mentioned that England's fast bowler Lauren Bell has moved up two spots, reaching a career-best fourth position.

It is worth noting that Sadia Iqbal reclaimed the top spot in the Women’s T20 Bowler Rankings in May, a position she has held since then.

Last year, in the T20 World Cup, Sadia Iqbal also took 3 wickets for Pakistan, including in the opening match where the Green Team defeated Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka.

Based on that match-winning performance, she became the first Pakistani female bowler to reach the number one position in the ICC rankings.
