Hayley Matthews, the captain of the West Indies, made tremendous advancements to take the top spot in the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s T20I All-Rounder Rankings after contributing significantly with both the bat and the ball in the current series against Australia.
In the first T20I, when she played the anchor with a strong unbroken 99, Matthews scored her team’s most runs. She then eliminated Alyssa Healy, but she was unable to prevent Australia from triumphing at North Sydney Oval. In the subsequent T20I, she performed even better.
She finished with a score of 3/36 after taking three key wickets in the four overs she was given. She then had her finest batting performance of her career, scoring 132 runs in just 64 balls. 20 fours and five sixes were part of her knock. It contributed to the pivotal West Indies victory in Australia that tied the series at 1-1.
With 480 rating points as a result, Matthews now occupies the top spot in the Women’s T20I All-Rounder Rankings.
An outstanding knock from a special player 🌟
