Dubai, Sept 17 (Agency) Players across Ireland’s ODI and T20I teams have enjoyed sizeable jumps in the latest ICC Women’s Player Rankings updates, following wins against England in both formats. Tasting success in the longer of the two formats over the English since 2001 on September 11, Ireland claimed their first win over the same opponents in T20Is, chasing down 170 with justone ball remaining, to level the series.Leading the team to victory in both formats, Gaby Lewis made an eight-place jump to No.16 in the latest ODI Batting Rankings, having made a vital 72 (56) in a tense chase of 154. The skipper’s work backed the bowling efforts of spinner Aimee Maguire, whose 5/19 led to an astronomic rise of 54 spots to enter the top 100 (No.87) for the first time.Ireland and England shared the T20I series with a win apiece, with Ireland’s victory in the second match in particular leading to significant rankings jumps. Making 80 (51) with bat in hand and taking 2/31 with the ball, Orla Prendergast continued to show her credentials as a world-class limited overs all-rounder, an ICC report said. The 22-year-old inevitably climbed in all three categories across the T20I rankings, though made sizeable jumps across batting and all-rounder disciplines, moving to a career high 25th in the batting list (562 rating), and 14th across all rounders (198 rating).
On the other side, Tammy Beaumont’s scores of 40 (34) and 27 (23) led to a 38-spot climb in the T20I batting rankings, re-entering the top 100 (No.65). Issy Wong’s 2/14 also moved the fast bowler back into the top hundred (No.85). Action between Pakistan and South Africa as well as a tri-series in Namibia meanwhile also shuffled rankings spots across all three disciplines.In Multan, an unbeaten half-century from Tazmin Brits moved her to sixth in the T20I batting rankings (705 rating), with Aliya Riaz moving into the top 50 on the other side. Nida Dar’s miserly 1/11 led to a four-spot jump on the bowling rankings (28th), while Dar and Marizanne Kapp both climbed a spot each to sixth and ninth respectively in the all-rounder list.The most note-worthy move in Namibia was for UAE’s Esha Oza, who climbed seven spots in All-Rounder Rankings thanks to three wickets and 38 runs across two outings.
