During the ongoing T20I series in New Zealand, Beth Mooney consolidated her position at the top of the batting charts, while Annabel Sutherland achieved a career-best ranking.
The ongoing three-match series between six-time Women’s T20 World Cup champions Australia and defending champions New Zealand has turned out to be one-sided so far.
In the first game, at Auckland, New Zealand could not break the shackles against some excellent bowling from the tourists, and could make only 137-2. Australia chased the target with eight wickets and 39 balls in hand. In the second, at Mount Maunganui, Australia amassed 204-3 and bowled out the hosts for 122 to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.

Mooney’s 42-ball 75 not out and 42-ball 70 helped her extend her lead at the top of the batting rankings. With 798 points, she is now 42 clear of stand-in captain Tahlia McGrath (756), who did not get a chance to bat in either game.
New Zealand captain Suzie Bates made 14 and 12, while Australia captain Alyssa Healy missed the series. However, both retained their respective rankings of seventh and ninth. Sophie Devine, meanwhile, fell for a golden duck after an unbeaten 39 to slip from 10th place to 14th.
