England fast bowler Lauren Bell and India’s stand-in skipper Smriti Mandhana have registered huge gains in the ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings after stellar performances in the opening match of their five-match series in Nottingham.

Bell has moved up two slots to reach a career-best fourth position among bowlers after taking three wickets while Mandhana, who smashed an electrifying 62-ball 112 runs to set up an emphatic 97-run victory, has risen one slot to third place and a career-best 771 ratings points.

The hosts suffered their heaviest T20I defeat in the opening fixture at Trent Bridge thanks to the heroics of Mandhana and left-arm spinner, Shree Charani, who took four wickets on debut to enter the rankings in 450th position.

Mandhana’s opening partner Shafali Verma has moved up one slot to 13th position after scoring 20 runs and Harleen Deol has re-entered the rankings in 86th position on the back of a 43 off 23 balls.

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt is another one to gain in the latest weekly update after top-scoring for her team with 66 off 42 deliveries.

She has gained 20 rating points to reach a career-best aggregate of 663 while retaining ninth position.
