Wolvaardt back at No. 1 in ICC women's ODI rankings as Smriti Mandhana slips

India captain Smriti Mandhana has had to give up the No. 1 spot in the latest ICC women's ODI rankings. South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt is once again first in the list of ODI batters.

Mandhana scored 32 and 0 in the first two ODIs against Zimbabwe. Her key rating points fell and she dropped from the top. Wolvaardt, who returned to the top spot, benefited directly.

India's Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma, meanwhile, have improved their rankings on the back of the same series. India lead the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe 2-0. Both players scored centuries in the second ODI.

India's former captain Harmanpreet has risen two places to eighth among ODI batters. Deepti jumped four places to 23rd.

Deepti also gained in the all-rounders' rankings, climbing two places to fourth. In the ODI bowlers' list she has moved up one place to eighth.

India pace bowler Kranti Gaud has risen two places to 25th. Young batter Pratika Rawal jumped seven places to a career-best 21st.

Indian players have also moved up in the T20 rankings. Shafali Verma has risen one place to third among batters. Mandhana has also gained one place and is fourth.

Zimbabwe's players have also gained in the ODI batting rankings. Modester Mupachikwa has climbed five places to 39th. Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano jumped four places to 47th. Beloved Biza leapt 16 places to 56th.

After the recent series against New Zealand, Australia's Ash Gardner has climbed nine places to 19th among T20 batters. Australia's Georgia Wareham and Kim Garth are joint seventh and joint tenth respectively in the T20 bowlers' rankings.

New Zealand's Bree Illing has risen six places to 17th among T20 bowlers. New Zealand's Nancy Patel has also improved her ranking, reaching 29th.
