Sadia Iqbal Reclaims No. 1 Spot in ICC Women’s T20I Bowling Rankings
Pakistan spinner Sadia Iqbal has regained the top position in the ICC Women’s T20I Bowling Rankings following impressive performances in Pakistan’s recent three-match T20I series against South Africa.
Iqbal moved past Australia’s Annabel Sutherland and India’s Deepti Sharma to secure the No. 1 ranking. The left-arm spinner emerged as the joint leading wicket-taker in the series, claiming five crucial wickets that helped Pakistan maintain competitive performances.
Her return to the top highlights consistent skill and impact in the shortest format of the game, reinforcing her reputation as one of the premier bowlers in women’s cricket. Analysts note that her ability to control the game in pressure situations played a key role in regaining the ICC’s highest bowling honor.
This achievement also reflects Pakistan’s growing prominence in women’s cricket and the emergence of players capable of competing at the highest international level. Iqbal’s ranking will be closely watched in upcoming series as she aims to maintain her top position and continue contributing to Pakistan’s success on the global stage.
