Smriti Mandhana Reigns Supreme in Women's ODI Rankings

Star Indian cricket opener Smriti Mandhana has reinforced her status as the world's leading batter in women's One-Day Internationals. Her stellar performance during the recent home World Cup has propelled her to a career-best rating of 828, placing her well clear of her closest competitor, Ash Gardner from Australia, who is at 731.

Mandhana's impressive form saw her deliver match-winning scores against New Zealand and Bangladesh, securing her position as the number one batter. Meanwhile, South African captain Laura Wolvaardt climbed into the top three with consistent performances, and England's Amy Jones entered the top ten rankings for the first time.

In the bowling department, England's Sophie Ecclestone continues to lead, while Australia's Alana King surged ahead with a career-high rating following a seven-wicket haul. As the tournament progresses, players like Marizanne Kapp and Annabel Sutherland are making significant strides in both batting and all-rounder lists.
