The latest ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings have sparked excitement, highlighting both individual brilliance and the rise of an emerging cricketing nation. Ireland skipper Gaby Lewis has climbed to her highest-ever rating, while Australia’s Beth Mooney continues her reign as the world’s No.1 T20I batter.
Gaby Lewis’s career-best surge
Lewis’s outstanding form in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Europe Division 1 Qualifier has earned her a career-best 625 rating points, before settling at 620, placing her 15th in the world. Her unbeaten 66 against the Netherlands in Rotterdam was the standout performance that fueled her rise. With Ireland in strong form, Lewis is now on the cusp of breaking into the top 10 T20I batters if her consistency continues.
Beth Mooney remains at the top
While Lewis climbs, Beth Mooney remains untouchable at the top. The Australian opener’s unmatched consistency and ability to produce match-winning knocks have cemented her place as the gold standard in women’s T20I batting.

Ireland’s rise isn’t just about individuals – the team enjoyed an unbeaten campaign at the European Qualifier, booking their ticket to next year’s Global Qualifier, where four spots for the 2026 T20 World Cup in England and Wales will be up for grabs.
