ICC T20I rankings: Bell is ranked fourth in bowling charts, and Mandhana is ranked third among batsmen.

Smriti Mandhana, who is rated #1 among players in the ICC ODI rankings for women, defeated England in the opening match of the series with a game-winning 62-ball 112, overcoming Tahlia McGrath to take third place on the T20I table. The England speedster Lauren Bell, who finished 3 for 27, was the other major player following the game. She dethroned India's Renuka Thakur and teammate Sophie Ecclestone to get up to No. 4.

In her 149th appearance in the format, Mandhana scored her first T20I century with a score of 112. She also achieved her highest career rating of 771 points. Table-topper Beth Mooney is well away with 794 points, but No. 2 Hayley Matthews is only three rating points ahead and easily within Mandhana's grasp when England India play their second Twenty20 International on Tuesday.

Shafali Verma, who made a comeback to India's T20I XI and teamed with Mandhana at the top in the opening match after being dropped in the previous T20I in October 2024, also rose to No. 13 after scoring 20 in 22 balls and appearing rather rusty.



Harleen Deol, who hit 43 in 23 balls, also returned to the rankings at joint-86th. Deol had fallen out of the standings and hadn't participated in a T20I since July 2023.

There is a bit of a traffic jam at the top of the table as a result of Bell's ascent in the bowlers' rankings. With 746 rating points, Sadia Iqbal of Pakistan leads the field, but Bell is only 19 points behind, with Australia's Annabel Sutherland (736 points) and India's Deepti Sharma (735 points) ahead of her. In actuality, Bell, Ecclestone (725), and Deepti are all just one strong performance away from taking the top spot.

Aakash Chopra questions the intent of Team Australia in the ongoing series

Image
Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer for India, has raised doubts about the commitment and mindset of Australia in their ongoing T20I series against India. Aakash Chopra questions the desire of Team Australia to win the series. Following Australia’s consecutive defeats in the series, with a 44-run loss in Thiruvananthapuram and a close two-wicket defeat in Visakhapatnam, Chopra suggested that the Australian team might be suffering from mental fatigue due to the World Cup 2023 victory. In a video analysis on his YouTube channel, Chopra speculated that Australia’s current performance could be attributed to emotional exhaustion after their World Cup win. Visit : https://www.dadasports247.com Chopra said, “The Australian team needs to buck up, but the big question is, do they actually want to win? Are they here to win? ‘What else are you here for’ — it reminds me of Kapil Paaji (Dev). It is being heard that some reinforcements are being sent to Australia. They are slightly emotionally drained...

Australian Star Statement on the Finals of the ODI World Cup 2023

Image
The batman of the Australian cricket team, Marnus Labuschagne, said he had “never seen” someone bowl like the way Pat Cummins did during the finals of the World Cup against India, which they won by six wickets for a record-extending sixth title. Cummins had the best economy rate in the 10 overs he had bowled and also grabbed two wickets to restrict Rohit Sharma’s side to 240. With an economy rate of 3.40 to go with the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, Cummins put the skids on India. Labuschagne said, “I think that was certainly Pat’s best day with the ball.” Labuschagne, who scored an unbeaten half-century in the final, said, “I think I’ve never seen someone bowl the sequence Cummins did, bowling the right balls at the right time that he did. I haven’t seen that from a middle-overs bowler or a pace bowler, especially in a long time. A lot of credit has to go to him.” Labuschagne also praised the tactical acumen of coach Andrew McDonald, saying he and the team analyst prepared t...
