Why Meg Lanning ranks #23 in Cricket
Meg Lanning ranks 23rd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 222nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 92, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 294 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2010–2023 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2017, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 7, odi centuries 15, international runs 8352, odi average 53.51.
Immediately ahead sits Mithali Raj on 86.0, a gap of -2.7 points. Directly behind is Alyssa Healy on 88.6. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
