Dubai, Feb 7 (UNI) South Africa left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba has overtaken India’s Deepti Sharma to grab second position among bowlers in the ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings after a fine performance against India in the final of the South Africa Tri-series which also featured the West Indies.
Mlaba grabbed two for 16 in the final in East London to finish with six wickets in the Tri-Series which came at just 8.66 runs apiece and she conceded just 3.25 runs per over to move to a career-best 753 rating points, just 10 points behind England’s Sophie Ecclestone, another left-arm spinner.
One more spinner to make impressive gains is India’s Sneh Rana, who has advanced four places to a career-best sixth position after taking two for 21 in the Tri-Series final.
