BIG UPDATE in ICC Women’s Rankings, Is it a good news for Indian team?

Mandhana scored two scintillating hundreds in the three-match series at home against Australia, which the visitors won 2-1 in the run-up to the upcoming World Cup beginning September 30 in Guwahati. She has moved to a career-high rating of 818.

Deepti’s pair of two-wicket hauls against Australia moved the India off-spinner up two spots to fifth with 651 points, while South African pacer Ayabonga Khaka moved three spots to 15th (548) after claiming 2/36 against Pakistan in Lahore in spite of non-favourable conditions.

India’s Kranti Gaud (up 23 spots to 39th) continues her fine start to the international game, while England’s Sophie Ecclestone (795 rating points) boasts an 85-point lead as the top-ranked ODI bowler ahead of the World Cup.

While Mandhana maintained her numero uno status, Tazmin Brits made the most noteworthy move in the batting rankings, up 15 spots to sixth (669 rating points) with back to back unbeaten hundreds in the Proteas series win in Lahore.

Brits averages 91.85, hitting 643 runs at a strike rate of 94.14 in ODIs in the 2025 calendar. It continues a dramatic rise from the prolific Protea, having been the 73rd ranked batter at the start of September 2023.
