New Zealand Stars Rise in Latest ODI Rankings.webp

Dubai, March 10 Indian batter Smriti Mandhana retained the top spot in the latest women's ODI batting rankings released here on Tuesday.

Mandhana was joined by her captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who remained in eighth place.

However, Jemimah Rodrigues dropped to 12th after India lost the three-match ODI series 0-3 against Australia.

Several of New Zealand's best white-ball stars have also seen significant gains in the latest update.

The White Ferns have been in superb form at home, having established a commanding 2-0 lead over Zimbabwe in the three-match ODI series, and it's no surprise that new captain Sophie Devine is leading the way with both bat and ball.

Devine took four wickets in the opening match of the series and then backed that up with a stunning seven-wicket haul in the second match in Dunedin, becoming only the seventh player overall to take seven or more wickets in a women's ODI.

This performance saw Devine jump five places to 11th overall on the list for ODI bowlers, while the talented 25-year-old also climbed one place to fifth on the list for ODI all-rounders.

Devine wasn't the only New Zealander to make gains following the opening two matches of the series against Zimbabwe, with Brooke Halliday (up eight places to 11th) and Maddy Green (up four places to equal 22nd) also rising to the top of the ODI batting charts after impressive performances with the bat.

Halliday smashed an unbeaten innings of 157 from just 117 balls in the series opener to demonstrate her skills, while Green scored 67 in the same match and followed that up with an unbeaten 27 in the second fixture.

There are also some changes in the latest T20I rankings, following the completion of the West Indies' three-match series at home against Sri Lanka, and less than three months before the start of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup hosted by England and Wales.

Left-hander Hasini Perera hit an unbeaten half-century to help Sri Lanka win the series in the third and final game in St George's, and she was rewarded on the latest T20I batters' rankings for her performance, rising 15 places to 28th overall.

Experienced right-hander Imesha Dulani (up 17 places to equal 72nd) also made gains on the T20I batters' list after an unbeaten 34 in the series finale, while Sri Lankan teammate Kavisha Dilhari also made gains on the T20I bowlers' list (up three places to 21st) and the all-rounders' list (up two places to 11th).

The biggest mover for the West Indies was Afy Fletcher, with the veteran spinner climbing four places to seventh overall on the list for T20I bowlers after taking three wickets in the final two games of the series against Sri Lanka.
