England's Alice Capsey also advanced eight slots to 103rd after her quick-fire 24 runs.
The top six of the Bowling Rankings – topped by England's Sophie Ecclestone – remains unchanged, but Matthews' continued good all-round form saw her rise to seventh place from ninth after her two for 49 in the opening match.

England's stellar cast scale maiden milestones in WI win
Coming on the back of a comprehensive T20I series sweep against the West Indies, England registered another impactful performance with a 108-run win against the same opponents in the opening ODI. Among the key performers for the hosts were the opening duo of Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones, who scored scintillating tons, and ODI debutant Linsey Smith, returning with a five-wicket haul. Jones, who was opening for England in the ODIs for the first time since 2019, added 222 runs with Beaumont for the first wicket. The seasoned campaigner with 98 ODI appearances went on to score her first century in the format, scoring 122 runs off 121 deliveries and was named the Player of the Match. "It's pretty special. I've played a fair few games now without one so to tick that off is a brilliant feeling," Jones told Sky Sports. "I was so excited when Lottie (head coach Charlotte Edwards) first had that thought and shared with me that opening could be an option. "I've obviously done it in the past - while Lottie was in the team, in fact - and so it has come full circle. To have her backing and have that partnership with Tammy, it means a lot." AUS v ENG: Amy Jones, England's budding superstar Having posted 345/6 on the board, England's bowlers managed to halt the Windies at 237, with left-arm spinner Linsey Smith leading the charge with a five-for. Closing with figures of 5/36, Smith opened up on a remarkable ODI debut, 'It's pretty surreal. Today feels like a bit of a blur but I guess initial feelings are pretty over the moon. "One, to make my debut. Two, to put in a performance and help the team win, so I'm pretty proud of myself right now. But there's another game coming up quickly and we want to win the series as well." "I know for quite a while I only played T20 and I knew deep down within me that I wanted to play every format and really push my case for that.' The Nat Sciver-Brunt-led side will next meet the West Indies in the second ODI on 4 June in Leicester. NewsEngland WomenAmy JonesLinsey Smith
