ICC Women’s ODIs rankings: Sciver-Brunt overtakes Smriti Mandhana as No. 1 batter

Among the bowlers, India spinner Deepti Sharma retained her fourth slot behind leader Sophie Ecclestone of England and the Australian pair of Ash Gardner and Megan Schutt.

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt displaced star India batter Smriti Mandhana from the No. 1 spot in the latest ICC Women’s ODI Rankings released on Tuesday, while Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues made significant strides.

Sciver-Brunt, who previously held the top position in 2023, regained the slot on the back of a series-high 160 runs across three ODIs against India recently.

England had lost the series 1-2 but the 32-year-old led her side’s batting with aplomb. Sciver-Brunt now has 731 points against Smriti’s 728.

Smriti dropped one spot to second after totalling 115 runs across the three matches against England.

However, India skipper Harmanpreet leaped from 21st to 11th, while middle-order batter Jemimah progressed to 13 in the chart from 15.
