Big-hitting teenage Indian batter Shafali Verma rose a rung to reclaim the top spot in the ICC women`s T20 rankings, riding on her fine performances in the ongoing series against South Africa at home. The 17-year-old, who grabbed the top position for the first time after helping her side reach the knockout phase of the T20 World Cup last year in Australia, has leapfrogged Australia`s Beth Mooney with scores of 23 and 47.
The Indian team, however, has conceded a decisive 0-2 lead to the visitors in the three-match series. South Africa opener Lizelle Lee is another one to gain in the rankings even though the big-hitting opener lost her top spot in the ODI rankings within a week of replacing England`s Tammy Beaumont, the ICC said in a statement. Lee has gained three slots to reach 11th position among T20I batters after a match-winning 70 helped South Africa to a winning 2-0 lead.
