Dubai [UAE], January 25 (ANI): Australia captain Meg Lanning and all-rounder Tahlia McGrath have advanced in the ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings after helping their team clinch the three-match home series against England 1-0 with outstanding performances in the first match in Adelaide.
The pair was associated in a 144-run unbroken stand for the second wicket in the only match that saw a result, Lanning's 44-ball 64 helping her overtake India's Smriti Mandhana to third place and McGrath's Player of the Match effort of 91 off 49 propelling her 29 places to 28th position.
Mandhana's opening partner Shafali Verma though is back on top of the rankings, overtaking Australia's Beth Mooney, who was out of the T20I series against England due to an injury.
Verma, who attained number one position for the first time during the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2020, is now two rating points ahead of Mooney at 726.

Bangladesh's Murshida Khatun is up 35 places to 48th after totaling 126 runs.
England openers Danni Wyatt (70) and Tammy Beaumont (30), who were associated in an 82-run stand in the first match, have also moved up. Wyatt is up three places to 13th and Beaumont up two places to 16th with captain Heather Knight also joining them in the top 20.
