· Sports · Sportstar, NDTV Sports
Harmanpreet Kaur advanced two places to eighth in the latest ICC Women’s ODI rankings. This move followed her century against Zimbabwe in the second ODI, which helped seal an unassailable series lead. All-rounder Deepti Sharma also scored a century in the same match and saw significant gains, climbing to 23rd in batting, fourth in all-rounders, and eighth in bowling. However, current India captain Smriti Mandhana dropped from her top position to South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt after scoring 32 and 0 in recent matches against Zimbabwe. India youngster Pratika Rawal also achieved a career-best ranking, moving up seven spots to 21st among ODI batters.
Why it matters
Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma's improved rankings highlight their strong performances and contribute to India's standing in women's international cricket. Smriti Mandhana's dip affects India's top batting representation, while the overall movements reflect the competitive landscape of women's ODI cricket.
