In a surprising shift on the top level of the ICC Women’s T20I bowling charts, Australia's Annabel Sutherland is now the top bowler in the T20I, dethroning Sadia Iqbal, who had held that position until recently. This is the first time Sutherland has reached No. 1, despite not having played in the format since March.

Sutherland's ascent results from maintaining her rating (736 points), while Iqbal slipped to joint-second-level with India’s Deepti Sharma, both now on 732 points .

Even without new matches, holding steady while others drop points can leap a player upwards. Iqbal’s dip is noticeable, and her modest three wickets in the recent Ireland T20I series took a toll on her ranking, knocking her off the summit.

The South African powerhouse is now emerging as the golden standard when it comes to the T20 format , emphasizing on her rising dominance.
