West  Indies  women’s  team  captain  Stafanie  Taylor  is  still  ranked  number  one  in the  world  according  to  the  latest  International  Cricket  council batting   ranking   and  has  reached  two  record  breaking  milestones  despite  the  ‘Windies  women’s  dismal  showing  in the  recent  series  in  New  Zealand.

Taylor moved up in the record books to fifth place on the all-time top women’s scorers in one day international cricket during the New Zealand series.

She  also   surpassed new Zealand’s Debbie Hockley to move into the top 5 with 4,230 career runs – still  at  the  top  of  the  list  however  is  Mithali Raj of India with 6295 runs.

The Jamaican all-rounder has also moved into second spot in women’s T/20 career runs with 2,582 runs, just 24 runs short of becoming the all-time leading scorer in Twenty/20 women’s cricket – Charlotte Edwards of England who is now retired, holds the top spot with 2,605 runs.

In the  meantime   Deandra Dottin is  still  in  5th  spot  on the  ICC  batting  rankings – Hayley Matthews also remains the number 1 ranked T/20 all-rounder followed by Dottin in 2nd and Taylor in 3rd.

Matthews is 3rd in the T/20 bowling rankings.

The  West  Indies  women  are  hoping  to   successfully defend their  world  T/20  title in November  when the 2018 ICC World T/20 championships will be hosted in Guyana, st Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda.
