England leg-spinner Sarah Glenn reached her career-best 2nd spot in ICC women's T20I rankings for bowlers following her match-winning spell against India in the 1st T20I at Chester-le-Street last Saturday.

Glenn registered her career-best figures of 4/23 in her four-over spell, which included the prized scalps of Shafali Verma and India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur.

Her spell ensured that England restricted the Indian eves for a mere 132/7 in 20 overs. The total was easily chased down by the host batters, with opener Sophia Dunkley smashing an unbeaten 44-ball 61.

England breached the target with 7 overs and 9 wickets still in their kitty to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

As a result, Glenn has now overtaken seamer Katherine Brunt and her teammate and the No.1 ranked T20I bowler, Sophie Ecclestone, remains the only one to be ahead of him.

Apart from Glenn, the half-centurion from the last game, Sophia Dunkley, has risen 13 places to claim the 44th position while Alice Capsey, who scored a quickfire 32, has also advanced 12 places to claim the 52nd spot in the ICC women's T20I rankings for batters.
