ICC Women's ODI Rankings: Smriti Mandhana Claims No. 1 Batter Spot India opener Smriti Mandhana has ascended to the top of the ICC Women’s One Day International (ODI) batting rankings following her standout performances in the recent three-match series against Australia. Mandhana now holds 790 rating points, surpassing South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt, who is ranked second with 782 points. Wolvaardt retains a chance to reclaim the top position when South Africa faces New Zealand in March and April. Australia’s Alyssa Healy, who scored a century in her last ODI, is placed fourth with 744 points, positioned between Beth Mooney (749 points) and Ashleigh Gardner (724 points). India captain Harmanpreet Kaur is ranked ninth in the batting list, while Jemimah Rodrigues is in 12th place. In the ODI bowling rankings, Australia’s Alana King has claimed the no. 1 spot with 775 rating points, ending England’s Sophie Ecclestone’s nearly four-year reign at the top. King’s rise to the top came after her stellar performance in the series against India, where she took seven wickets, including four for 33 in the third ODI, helping her team secure an 185-run victory. This marks her first time as the top-ranked bowler and her highest rating to date. Other Australian bowlers in the top eight include Gardner (third), Annabel Sutherland (fifth), Megan Schutt (seventh), and Kim Garth (eighth). Deepti Sharma is the only Indian bowler in the top 10, placed at 10th. In the ODI all-rounder rankings, Australia’s Ashleigh Gardner leads with 516 points, significantly ahead of West Indies’ Hayley Matthews, who is second with 418 points. Deepti Sharma also features in the top 10 all-rounders list, ranked fifth.#smriti_mandhana #alyssa_healy #icc_womens_odi_rankings #laura_wolvaardt #harmanpreet_kaur
