Beth Mooney Regains No 1 Spot in The Latest ICC Rankings

Australia opener Beth Mooney regained her position on the top of the batters list in the latest ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings. She had earlier lost the position to fellow teammate and captain Meg Lanning two weeks ago. The 28-year-old had an outing to remember in the recently concluded Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

She ended up being the top run-scorer of the tournament scoring 179 runs in 5 innings. Mooney scored a 41-ball 61 against India in the final while also registering scores of 70* against Pakistan and 36 against New Zealand during the tournament.

Such solid performances at the tournaments saw the 28-year-old surpass Lanning and reclaim her spot at the top in the most recent ICC rankings. She is now 18 points ahead of Lanning with 743 rating points to head the ICC rankings on Tuesday.
