Suryakumar
Yadav
has
838
rating
points
and
will
be
aiming
to
bring
his
best
A
game
in
the
blockbuster
clash
between
the
two
sides
at
the
MCG
on
Sunday
(October
23).

Rizwan’s
skipper
Babar
Azam
(808)
is
third
on
the
T20I
batter
rankings
and
the
trio
look
set
to
battle
it
out
for
the
top
spot
over
the
remainder
of
the
T20
World
Cup.

The
only
movement
inside
the
top
10
following
the
latest
rankings
update
for
batters
saw
aggressive
New
Zealand
right-hander
Glenn
Phillips
jump
an
impressive
13
spots
to
equal
10th
on
the
back
of
his
strong
tri-series
efforts
against
Bangladesh
and
Pakistan.

There
was
some
slight
movement
inside
the
top
10
on
the
updated
list
for
bowlers,
with
Mujeeb
Ur
Rahman
(up
two
spots
to
fifth)
and
South
Africa
counterpart
Keshav
Maharaj
(up
one
place
to
eighth)
on
the
move.

Australia
seamer
Josh
Hazlewood
(705
rating
points)
retains
his
lead
at
the
top
of
the
rankings
for
T20I
bowlers,
but
Afghanistan
tweaker
Rashid
Khan
(696),
Sri
Lanka
spinner
Wanindu
Hasaranga
(692)
and
South
Africa
veteran
Tabraiz
Shamsi
(688)
are
all
within
striking
distance.

Meanwhile,
Bangladesh
captain
Shakib
Al
Hasan
will
enter
the
T20
World
Cup
on
top
of
the
world
after
he
was
elevated
to
the
No.1
spot
for
all-rounders
in
the
latest
rankings.

Shakib
claimed
top
billing
on
the
back
of
an
excellent
tri-series
against
New
Zealand
and
Pakistan,
with
the
veteran
hitting
consecutive
half-centuries
during
Bangladesh’s
final
two
matches.

That
form
saw
Shakib
move
in
front
of
Afghanistan
ace
Mohammad
Nabi
and
into
the
top
ranking
for
all-rounders,
ahead
of
Bangladesh’s
T20
World
Cup
campaign
in
Australia.

Namibia
star
JJ
Smit
(up
four
places
to
fourth)
and
Zimbabwe
veteran
Sikandar
Raza
(up
four
spots
to
seventh)
make
eye-catching
moves
on
the
list
for
all-rounders
following
impressive
starts
to
their
T20
World
Cup
tournament,
while
the
race
for
the
top
batter
ranking
looks
one
to
keep
an
eye
on
over
the
next
few
weeks
Down
Under.
