Some fine performances in the recent England-South Africa women’s series have resulted in big movements in the ICC Women’s ODI Player Rankings.
South Africa opener Lizelle Lee has risen seven places to take the second spot among batters after accumulating 211 runs in the series while England’s Tammy Beaumont’s back-to-back centuries in the second and third matches and a series-topping 212 runs have lifted her three slots to 10th position. Others to move up the rankings for batters include Dane van Niekerk (up eight places to 13th) and Laura Wolvaardt (up one place to 14th).
Among bowlers, Shabnim Ismail (up three places to third), Ayabonga Khaka (up one place to seventh), Anya Shrubsole (up one place to ninth) and Katherine Brunt (up three places to 12th) have made significant gains.
South Africa's Lizelle Lee is up to second in the @MRFWorldwide Women's ODI Batting Rankings, while Amelia Kerr has stormed up all three tables after starring against Ireland! 🔥🔥🔥
