India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana jumped two places to move to third place in the ICC women’s ODI batting rankings released here on Tuesday. India opened the game with the left hand and scored a match-winning 117, their first century on home soil, leading India’s 143-run victory over South Africa in the three-match series. Mandhana, who has 715 points, is behind Chamari Athapaththu, from Sri Lanka, who lost the top spot in the rankings to England’s Natalie Sciver-Brunt. The England all-rounder regained the top spot by scoring a superb 124 not out against Pakistan last month.
India’s senior all-rounder Deepti Sharma moved up three places to 20th while Pooja Vastrakar moved up three places to 38th.
Vastarkar was the big driver in the ODI charts for all-rounders, with the 24-year-old gaining four places to move up to 18th.
South Africa veteran Marizanne Kapp remains the No. 1 ranked ODI all-rounder.
In the ODI bowling list, Deepti gained a position and moved to fourth place after tidy figures of 2/10 in the series opener.
England spinner Sophie Ecclestone has maintained a healthy lead at the top of the ODI bowlers’ rankings.
