While Ecclestone holds on to a narrow lead at the top ahead of the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, Deepti Sharma and Nonkululeko Mlaba have made significant ground on the England tweaker as a result of some strong performances during the ongoing tri-series between India, South Africa and the West Indies.

Deepti is the leading wicket-taker of the series with nine scalps and Mlaba isn’t far behind with four, and the pair will be eyeing off Ecclestone’s spot as the top-ranked T20I bowler if they continue this form ahead of the start of the Women’s T20 World Cup on February 10.
Ecclestone’s lead is down to just 26 rating points following the latest rankings update made by the ICC on Tuesday, with second-placed Deepti (737) and third-placed Mlaba (732) both jumping a spot courtesy of their good recent form and closing in on the England star’s total of 763 rating points.
