Pakistan’s Sadia Iqbal has claimed the No.1 spot in the ICC Women’s T20I Bowler Rankings, becoming the world’s leading T20I bowler once again. Her rise comes after England’s Sophie Ecclestone missed the recent T20I series against the West Indies.
Iqbal, who played a key role in Pakistan’s strong showing during the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup, had briefly held the top spot last year. Her return to the summit reflects her consistency and impact in the shortest format.

Joining her in the top 10 is fellow Pakistani spinner Nashra Sandhu, who holds steady at No.8 in the latest rankings. The update marks a proud moment for Pakistan women’s cricket on the global stage.
Meanwhile, England’s Lauren Bell has surged 13 places to rank sixth after picking up seven wickets against the West Indies. In the batting rankings, West Indies star Hayley Matthews climbed to second following her 177-run series performance.
