Dubai: Smriti Mandhana, the star cricketer of India, is still at the top of her game as she maintains her No.1 position in the latest ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings. Her outstanding performance at the Women's World Cup 2025 has solidified her spot at the pinnacle of the rankings. In the recent update, we saw many other remarkable players make significant progress as well.
Mandhana's impressive score of 80 in Visakhapatnam has helped her maintain her lead at the top. Meanwhile, Australia's Alyssa Healy has made a remarkable leap of nine places to join Mandhana at the fourth spot. This jump can be credited to her brilliant knock of 142 in Australia's thrilling chase against India. With a rating of 700 points, Healy now stands alongside Laura Wolvaardt at the fourth position, just behind Nat Sciver-Brunt and Beth Mooney.
South Africa's skipper, Laura Wolvaardt, has also made a remarkable climb of three places to join Healy at the fourth spot. Her consistent performances and a match-winning knock of 70 against India have earned her this well-deserved spot. Another player who has made a significant jump in the rankings is New Zealand's captain, Sophie Devine. She has risen two places to sixth after being the leading run-scorer in the tournament so far. Her impact at the World Cup has been undeniable.
Further down the rankings, South Africa's rising star Nadine de Klerk has caught everyone's attention with her impressive jump of 26 spots to 32nd position. Her crucial contributions in successful runs chases for the Proteas in Visakhapatnam have earned her this recognition.
In the Women's ODI Bowling Rankings, England's Sophie Ecclestone is still holding onto her top spot, closely followed by Australia's Ashleigh Gardner. However, it has been a breakthrough week for many bowlers. Australia's Annabel Sutherland has climbed six spots to a career-best eighth position, while South Africa's Nonkululeko Mlaba has broken into the top 10, rising three places after taking eight wickets in the tournament so far.
Gardner is also dominating the All-rounder Rankings, retaining her top spot. But we have a new entrant in the top 10 - South Africa's Chloe Tryon, who has climbed three spots to achieve a personal best. Her all-round impact has also been reflected in her rise of 18 places to 30th position in the bowlers' list.
