Pakistan, Bangladesh Players Rise In Latest ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings
Pakistan and Bangladesh players moved up in the latest ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings on Tuesday following their exceptional performance in booking their side's spot in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup which will take place later this year, as per the ICC official website. The two Asian sides won their place at this year's 50-over showcase by finishing in the top two spots during the recent ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025, and a host of their players were rewarded in the rankings update. Left-arm spinner Nahida Akter climbed two places to 10th overall on the updated rankings for ODI bowlers and reached a new career-high rating following her six wickets for Bangladesh during the Qualifier. There's also a new career-best rating for Pakistan left-arm spinner Sadia Iqbal as the 29-year-old improved five spots to 17th on the rankings for ODI bowlers after nine scalps at the Qualifier, while teammates Fatima Sana (up five places to equal 27th) and Diana Baig (up three rungs to 35th) also make ground on the same list. West Indies all-rounder Hayley Matthews was the leading wicket-taker at the Qualifiers with 13 scalps and maintained her place inside the top 10 of the ODI bowler rankings (ninth), with teammates Afy Fletcher (up three spots to 21st) and Karishma Ramharack (up five rungs to 25th) making some eye-catching improvements despite the fact the Caribbean side narrowly missed out on earning a top two position at the event. Matthews also rose in the latest rankings for ODI batters as she climbed two spots to fifth overall on the back of her 240 runs at the Qualifiers, while Ireland right-hander Gaby Lewis (up five spots to 17th) and Pakistan veteran Sidra Amin (up five places to 18th) were rewarded for their efforts. There were gains in the rankings for ODI batters for Sharmin Akhter (up eight spots to 21st) and Ireland's Amy Hunter (up seven places to 27th), while Scotland captain and Player of the Tournament Kathryn Bryce reached a new career-best rating after improving eight positions to equal 35th. Bryce also gained 13 spots to move to 30th on the updated rankings for ODI all-rounders, with Ireland's Orla Prendergast (up three spots to 11th) and Sana (up 10 places to equal 15th) among the biggest winners on this list.

ICC Women's CWCQ 2025 Day 6 wrap: Ireland get their first win, Bangladesh remain unbeaten
Bangladesh began their defense strongly, with Marufa Akter delivering a stunning delivery to dismiss Abbi Aitken-Drummond early. Nahida Akter soon joined the action, claiming the crucial wickets of Scotland captain Kathryn Bryce and Pippa Sproul, leaving Scotland in deep trouble at 31/3. A brief rebuilding effort was cut short when Ailsa Lister was run out for 18, adding further pressure to the Scottish chase. Sarah Bryce tried to steady the chase but her efforts ultimately went inain after she hit one straight back to Jannatul Ferdus, who caught it with ease. Megan McColl and Katherine Fraser were dismissed for measly figures of 5 and 8 respectively, further denting Scotland's stride. Just when things were looking done, Priyanaz Chatterji and Rachel Slater combined to add a blazing 115-run stand for the eighth wicket, notching up half-centuries each as Scotland eventually finished on 242/9 after their alloted quota of 50 overs. Nahida Akter led with the ball for Bangladesh, picking up 4-40 from her 10 overs. Bangladesh will now face West Indies on April 17, while Scotland will be in action against Ireland on April 18.
