New Zealand’s Jacob Duffy follows at second place with a rating of 699, bolstered by his impressive peak of 750 reached against South Africa at Harare in 2025. Afghanistan’s premier spinner Rashid Khan remains a formidable presence in third with 694 points, though his all-time career-best of 828—recorded against Bangladesh in Dehradun in 2018—still stands as one of the highest marks in the format’s history.
Pakistan’s Abrar Ahmed has secured the fourth position at 691, reflecting a steady ascent, with his best of 703 coming against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi this year. Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga, long regarded as one of T20 cricket’s most dynamic all-round spinners, sits fifth with 687 points, still carrying the weight of his 809 peak against the West Indies in 2021.
England’s veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid holds sixth place with 686 rating points, while West Indies’ Akeal Hosein follows in seventh with 675—both continuing to anchor their sides with consistency and experience. Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman, renowned for his deceptive pace variations, is positioned eighth at 665, far below his career-best 718 achieved at Colombo in 2017.
Australia completes the top ten with two of its frontline bowlers: Nathan Ellis in ninth with 660 points and Adam Zampa in tenth with 655. Both have delivered notable spells through 2025, with Ellis peaking at 678 against India in Queensland and Zampa reaching a high of 746 against Sri Lanka in Sydney back in 2022.
As the T20 format continues to grow at a rapid pace, the latest rankings highlight both the shifting competitive landscape and the enduring impact of established performers. With major tournaments approaching, these standings offer a revealing snapshot of current form and global momentum across cricket’s shortest international format.
