Mandhana closes in on No 1 ranking after dominant run
Dubai, May 13 (UNI) India batter Smriti Mandhana has been rewarded for her good recent form by making ground on South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt to become the top-ranked batter on the ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings. Mandhana was in excellent touch during the recent tri-series India won against Sri Lanka and South Africa, with the left-hander amassing 264 runs across five innings to finish as the second leading run-scorer at the event. It saw Mandhana improve one spot to second overall on the updated rankings for ODI batters, with the gap on Wolvaardt now reduced to just 11 rating points after the South African skipper managed just 86 runs during the tri-series. Mandhana has previously had the No.1 ranking for ODI batters, but the 28-year-old has not held the premier position in 50-over cricket since 2019 despite consistently sitting inside the top 10 during that time. Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu makes ground inside the top 10 as she rises two places to equal seventh following 139 runs for her side during the tri-series, while Jemimah Rodrigues (up five spots to 15th) and South Africa's Chloe Tryon (up nine places to 18th) also improve, an ICC report said. India spinner Sneh Rana was adjudged Player of the Series during the tri-series and the experienced tweaker was among the big movers on the updated list for ODI bowlers that is still headed by England's Sophie Ecclestone. South Africa seamer Nadine de Klerk gains one place to move to 24th overall on this list, while Rana jumps four spots to equal 34th following 15 wickets for the tri-series at an average of just 14. Australia's Ash Gardner maintains her place as the No.1 ranked all-rounder in ODI cricket, with India's Deepti Sharma improving one place to fifth overall following some good efforts for her team during the tri-series. There are also gains on the same list for Tryon (up three places to 11th) and de Klerk (up four spots to 12th). UNI BM

India's strong start to their ongoing tri-series against Sri Lanka and South Africa has seen a pair of their young batters reach new career-best marks on the latest ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings. India cruised to a nine-wicket victory over hosts Sri Lanka in the tri-series opener in Colombo and opener Pratika Rawal was the star of the show with an excellent half-century that helped her claim the Player of the Match award. Pratika stroked an unbeaten 50 from just 62 deliveries to help India register a nine-wicket triumph and the 24-year-old was rewarded with a new career-high rating and a 10-spot jump to 47th overall on the latest rankings for ODI batters.
