Earlier this year, the Nigerian women were ranked 26th in the world after their bronze-winning feat at the African Games in Ghana.
According to the Nigeria Cricket Federation, the ICC ranks the performance of countries within a stipulated time for the rankings, and not just the senior national team.
South Africa are still top of the chart in Africa despite dropping from fifth to sixth in the world, while Zimbabwe are ranked 14th, Namibia 17th, Uganda 18th, Tanzania 19th, and Rwanda 26th. Kenya 28th, Botswana 44th, Sierra Leone 45th, and Malawi 54th.
Australia are world number one in the T20 format, ahead of England and India.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s men’s team’s position remains unchanged, in 36th place and the seventh-best nation in Africa.
