Two days ahead of the Women's World Twenty20, the ICC has launched T20I players rankings for women in Colombo, with Australian all-rounder Lisa Sthalekar and England wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor heading the bowling and batting rankings respectively.

The top spots are dominated by Australian and English players, with at least half the spots among the first 20 in both categories claimed by players of the two countries.

West Indies' Stefanie Taylor also figures in the top five rankings for batting.
