Sadia Iqbal returns to the number one position in ICC T20I Bowler Rankings
Sadia Iqbal, Pakistan’s left-arm spinner, was once again the number one player in the ICC Women’s T20I Bowler Rankings, proving she is one of the best bowlers in women’s cricket.
Her recent standout performance took place during the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers in Lahore where she took nine wickets at an average of 16. Her performance helped Pakistan get some crucial victories and she made it into the “Team of the Tournament.” The ICC said Sadia had been consistent and how close this competition is – 44 rating points from the top 10 bowlers. Although Sadia was on top and deservedly so. Lauren Bell of England also made news, climbing to a career-high fourth in the latest announcement.
Earlier in May, Sadia had regained the number one position, and this latest announcement makes it two times at the top.
Her ascent commenced with her outstanding performance in the 2023 T20 World Cup, where she managed to take three wickets, which helped Pakistan claim victory over Sri Lanka. That match marked the moment in which she became the first Pakistani woman to reach No. 1 in ICC’s T20I rankings—what a moment for her and the Pakistan Women’s Cricket! Sadia’s story is a great inspiration for young female cricketers all over the country, showing that hard work and consistency can lead you to the very top.
