While full focus will be on powering their teams to glory, some players will also have their eyes on topping the ICC batting, bowling, and all-rounder rankings come the end of the month.<br \/>\nJust 22 points currently separate the top five batters, with West Indies\u2019 Hayley Matthews leading the charge to become the first non-Australian in three years to reach the summit. She will have to get past Australia\u2019s Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath to do so, with Mooney currently leading the way on 757 points, nine ahead of her compatriot and former No.1 McGrath.<br \/>\nMooney showed why she is the one to beat with an impressive 30-ball half century in Australia\u2019s warm-up match against England last week. Matthews is a further two points behind with a career-high 746, with India\u2019s Smriti Mandhana also in contention on 743, while Laura Wolvaardt is not far behind on 735.<br \/>\nBig performances from any of the top five could shake up the individual standings with so little to choose between each player. There are six countries represented in the top ten, with Sri Lanka\u2019s Chamari Athapaththu just nine points off the 700-point barrier while New Zealand pair Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine are ninth and tenth respectively.<br \/>\nBangladesh captain Nigar Sultana makes it seven countries in the top 13 batters; she is the first female Bangladesh batter to accrue over 600 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORONTO The battle to reach the top of the ICC Women\u2019s T20I Player Rankings is closer than ever ahead of the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024.
