Australia young guns the big winners on latest rankings update

Some impressive performances in New Zealand has seen a trio of Australian young guns rewarded with new career-high ratings on the latest ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings.

The Aussies registered an emphatic 3-0 series whitewash over their trans-Taman rivals last month, with opening batter Beth Mooney adjudged Player of the Series for her 166 runs across the three matches.

That saw Mooney maintain her place as the No.1 ranked T20I batter, but a pair of youngsters are closing in following some decent efforts with the bat in New Zealand.

The duo obtain new career-high ratings courtesy of their efforts, while teammate Annabel Sutherland also climbs to a new career-best mark on the latest rankings for T20I bowlers after her superb series with the ball.

Sutherland claimed eight wickets across the three matches, with her best effort coming in the series finale in Wellington as she collected figures of 4/35 to help propel Australia to an eight-run victory.

Sutherland remains fourth on the updated rankings for T20I bowlers, but closes to within just 20 rating points of England's Sophie Ecclestone at the top of the list.

Australian spinner Georgia Wareham gains one place to move up to eighth on the latest rankings for T20I bowlers, while veteran seamer Megan Schutt also jumps one spot to improve to 11th overall.

There is some joy for a group of New Zealand players despite the fact they failed to win any of the three matches against Australia, with star all-rounder Melie Kerr leading the way with her stylish half-century in the final match of the series.

Kerr improves seven places to 10th overall on the T20I rankings for batters, with teammate Maddy Green jumping nine spots to equal 45th following her innings of 62 from the same contest.
