International Cricket Council (ICC) have released their latest women's T20I rankings, and Pakistan all-rounder Nida Dar has been rewarded for her stellar form as of late.

The 35-year-old has been Pakistan's outstanding player in the ongoing series against Ireland women. She is the leading wicket-taker from the first 2 T20I matches and is also the leading run-scorer for her side.

Dar scored a half-century in Pakistan's 6-wicket loss to Ireland in the opening game of the series. She backed it up with a gutsy 28 in the second match. She was also the best performer for Pakistan in the recently concluded women's Asia Cup.

As a result, she has now jumped three spots to 35th position on the latest rankings for women's T2OI batters. Not only in the batting department, Dar also moved one place to equal 15th spot for the bowlers' rankings.

Her teammate, Nashra Sandhu also jumped to 25th position for the T20I bowlers rankings. Apart from the Pakistan duo, Ireland's Arlene Kelly and Gaby Lewis also witnessed significant surge in the latest rankings released by ICC.
