Moving up to No. 3, Fazalhaq Farooqi will place two Afghan bowlers on the summit.
The new top T20I spinner in the globe is Rashid Khan. Following his three wickets at less than a run per delivery during Afghanistan’s landmark 2-1 series victory over Pakistan in Sharjah, he has replaced Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga atop the leaderboard.
Teammate Fazalhaq Farooqi, who finished with the most wickets for Afghanistan in the Pakistan series, is next to Rashid on the summit. He is ranked third among T20I spinners. In three games, Farooqi took five wickets and gave up just 4.75 runs per over, helping him move up the standings by 12 spots.
Rashid, who first reached the top in February 2018, was in the lead as recently as November of last year. Since then, he has regularly been among the best in the format.
The 2-1 outcome marked Afghanistan’s first T20I series victory over Pakistan, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman was another spinner to advance as a result. He went from bowling at No. 10 to No. 8 after getting two wickets in the first and third games.
In lieu of the injured Babar Azam, Pakistan’s temporary skipper Shadab Khan rose eight places to No. 4 on the T20I all-rounder standings after finishing the series as the third-highest run scorer and joint-fourth-highest wicket-taker.
Due to his 42 off 21 against West Indies in the series-deciding third T20I in Johannesburg, South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw rose two spots to No. 6 in the T20I batting standings.
