Healy moved up eight spots in the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings as a result of her big runs, which will have boosted Australia's hopes ahead of the ICC Women's World T20 2018.
Among Australians, Meg Lanning retained her position at No.3, while Beth Mooney, who had scores of 38, 29 and 21 in the series, moved up one spot to No.4, pushing down the Windies’ Deandra Dottin to No.5.
Two brilliant knocks.

Typically exceptional glove work.
It was a series of pure class from Alyssa Healy!

It wasn’t a great series for Pakistan, as they lost the three matches by 64 runs, six wickets and nine wickets respectively, and that was reflected in the rankings. From Australia’s point of view, star all-rounder Ellyse Perry also didn’t have too big a say in the results, and slipped four spots to No.9 among the bowlers.
But they had plenty of other gainers in the bowling department.
