Women’s Rankings shake up after busy CWC25 week
India batter solidifies credentials with career-best rating as Cricket World Cup heroes make ICC Women’s Ranking moves.
Smriti Mandhana has solidified her status as the No.1 Batter in Women’s ODI cricket thanks to scores of 109 against New Zealand and 34 not out against Bangladesh, moving to a career-best rating in an outstanding home ICC Women's Cricket World Cup campaign to date.
Mandhana moves to a rating of 828, almost 100 points clear of Ash Gardner in second (731), with the Aussie jumping six spots off the back of an unbeaten century against England at the tournament.
It continues a dream run for the India opener, who was named ICC Women's Player of the Month for September 2025 for her work in the ODI series against Australia that preceded the World Cup.
