Pakistan's Saadia Iqbal has made history as the first Pakistani woman to temporarily hold the top spot in the ICC T20 player rankings.
The talented spinner achieved this remarkable feat by surpassing England's Sophie Ecclestone, who has been the reigning leader since February 2020. Iqbal briefly took the lead after an impressive performance in the Women’s T20 World Cup, where she took three wickets for just 17 runs against Sri Lanka.
Though Ecclestone has since regained her position, the two bowlers are closely matched, with only eight rating points separating them. With the tournament ongoing, Iqbal has a strong chance to reclaim the top spot. This year, she has taken 28 wickets in 17 matches, solidifying her status as a formidable bowler.
