As per the latest rankings released by the ICC, Yadav has progressed seven places to the 13th among bowlers after bagging four wickets in the series against Sri Lanka, which India won 2-1.

On the back of her splendid performance in the just-concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka, India's left-arm spinner Radha Yadav has moved up to the 13th spot in the ICC Women's T20I players rankings. As per the latest rankings released by the ICC, Radha Yadav has jumped seven places to 13th among bowlers after bagging four wickets in the series against Sri Lanka, which India won 2-1. In batting rankings, Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu has moved up one place to a career-best seventh position after aggregating 139 runs in three matches.
The series already in their pocket, a confident India will look to complete a clean-sweep when they take on hosts Sri Lanka in the third and final women's T20 International in Dambulla on Monday. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led outfit had thrashed the home team by 34 runs in the opening T20 and then followed it up with a dominating five-wicket win in the second game to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. More importantly, the wins will be a morale booster for India ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham starting next month, where women's T20 cricket is set to make its debut. India seem to have found the winning momentum, but they won't be entirely pleased with their performance in the series so far. While the bowlers have done a stellar job in the two games, India's batting has left a lot to be desired. Additionally, the Indians have been sloppy on the field. (LIVE SCORECARD)
India dished out an impressive bowling display in both spin and pace departments, choking Sri Lanka to a paltry 125/7 after the home side were 87 for no loss inside 14 overs. In reply, India overcame some early hiccups to secure the series-clinching win and take an unassailable 2-0 lead. "They (bowlers) did a really good job today and also in the last match to defend 139," Mandhana said at the post-match press conference.

India stuttered in what should have been a comfortable run chase before Harmanpreet took India home with an unbeaten 31 of 32 balls.
