New career-high rating for England spinner as rankings race hots up

England spinner Sarah Glenn has claimed a new career-high rating as the race at the top of the ICC Women's T20I Bowler Rankings intensifies.

Glenn has claimed a total of eight wickets through four matches of England's ongoing T20I series at home against New Zealand and this has allowed the right-armer to maintain her place as the No.2 ranked T20I bowler in the world and rise to a new career-best rating with 768 rating points.

The only player in front of Glenn in the ratings is teammate and fellow spinner Sophie Ecclestone and she also has eight scalps from the first four matches of the five-game series with the Kiwis as the race for the premier position among T20I bowlers remains as tight as ever.
