New Zealand fast bowler Jacob Duffy is the new No.1 T20I bowler, quickly rising to the top of the rankings with an impressive start to 2025.
Jacob Duffy new No.1 T20I bowler
Duffy, who had a stop-start T20I career until his inclusion in the Sri Lanka series late last year, has been in sensational form since. He took eight wickets in three matches there, and followed it up with 13 wickets in the recent five-match T20I series against Pakistan.
He replaced West Indies' Akeal Hosein to the top spot, rising four places to reach the top of the rankings for the first time in any format. He is the first New Zealand bowler since Ish Sodhi in 2018 to occupy the top spot. Duffy has now taken 32 wickets in 23 T20Is at 16.09, with an economy of just under seven.
Elsewhere, Pakistan quick Haris Rauf fell five places in the T20I bowling rankings, to joint-20th. He soared up the ODI rankings though, moving up nine spots from 25th to 16th.
Seifert rises in batting rankings
Duffy's New Zealand teammate Tim Seifert also reached a career-best high after top-scoring in the T20Is against Pakistan, including a career-best 97* in a record-breaking chase.
Seifert broke into the top 10 that was otherwise unchanged, going five spots up and pushing Babar Azam one spot down, to No.9.
