Career-best ratings for a host of Sri Lanka players less than six weeks out from the start of the Women’s T20 World Cup.

Sri Lanka have received a boost ahead of this year’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup with a group of their best white-ball players achieving career-best ratings on the latest ICC Women’s ODI Player Rankings.

The rankings rise comes on the back of an emphatic performance by Sri Lanka during the third match of their recent ODI series against Ireland, a contest that saw the island nation register a comprehensive eight-wicket triumph in Belfast.

It was inspirational skipper Chamari Athapaththu who dominated that match with a well-compiled 48 with the bat and a three-wicket haul with the ball, helping the Sri Lanka all-rounder rise all three rankings categories.

Athapaththu gained six rating points to retain her position in fourth and close in on the No.1 ranked ODI batter in the world Nat Sciver-Brunt, while teammate Harshitha Samarawickrama improved fifteen places to rise to 29th spot and obtained a new career-best mark of her own following a score of 48* against Ireland.
