ICC Rankings: Smriti Mandhana Remains No. 2 ODI Batter; England's Amy Jones Climbs Up To Seventh
England's wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones has surged to new heights in the latest ICC Women's Rankings. Following a remarkable performance in the opening ODI of the three-match series against the West Indies, where she scored a sensational century, Jones climbed three spots to seventh place in the ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings. Her ascent did not stop there; in the second ODI, Jones delivered an extraordinary innings, amassing 129 runs off just 98 balls. This outstanding performance not only propelled her team to victory but also secured her a position among the top five batters in the world, as she now stands proudly in fourth place with 689 Rating Points. The elite trio of Laura Wolvaardt, Smriti Mandhana, and Nat Sciver-Brunt continues to lead the rankings, but Jones is firmly establishing herself as a formidable contender. Jones' brilliance was instrumental in ensuring that England completed an unbeaten run in the ODI series, building upon their earlier success in the T20I series against the same opponents, which they won decisively with a 3-0 margin. Joining Jones in the spotlight was the experienced bowler Kate Cross, who also played a crucial role in England's success. Cross concluded the series with three wickets, highlighted by an impressive economic performance of 1/15 in the final ODI. Her consistent efforts earned her a well-deserved rise in the ICC Women's ODI Bowling Rankings, where she now sits in eighth place. With the upcoming India tour, Jones and Cross along with other England players have an opportunity to further improve their positions in the Women's Rankings Listen to the latest songs, only on

Smriti inches closer to being No. 1 women's ODI batter
Dubai: India's southpaw, Smriti Mandhana, is inching closer to reclaiming the ICC Women's ODI No.1 batter ranking — a spot she last held in 2019 — after a remarkable performance in the recently concluded tri-series involving South Africa and Sri Lanka. Mandhana, 28, was at her elegant best throughout the tri-series, amassing 264 runs in just five innings. Her consistency, stroke play, and temperament under pressure not only helped India clinch the title but also propelled her to No.2 in the latest ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings. She is now just 11 rating points behind the current leader and South Africa captain, Laura Wolvaardt, who managed only 86 runs in the same series. Wolvaardt, though still the top-ranked ODI batter, is under serious threat from Mandhana, whose latest push signals a possible return to the summit of 50-over cricket — a position she has been consistently circling for years without quite reclaiming since her initial reign six years ago. While Mandhana stole the headlines, several of her teammates also made notable gains in the ICC rankings update. Jemimah Rodrigues, who chipped in with valuable contributions through the series, jumped five places to 15th in the ODI batter rankings. Spinner Sneh Rana was one of the tournament's standout performers and was rightly named Player of the Series. With 15 wickets at an average of just 14, Rana was a constant threat, especially on spin-friendly surfaces. Her efforts saw her climb four places to joint 34th on the ICC ODI Bowler Rankings, which continues to be topped by England's Sophie Ecclestone. India's bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma also impressed during the series, making significant contributions with both bat and ball. Her all-round efforts helped her rise one spot to No.5 in the ODI All-Rounder Rankings. The tri-series wasn't just fruitful for Indian players. Sri Lanka's captain Chamari Athapaththu, ever the pillar of her team's batting, also made positive strides.
