The International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the latest edition of the Women’s ODI and T20I rankings. Frontline Indian batter Smriti Mandhana has been the highlight of the rankings after making huge gains in both the formats on the back of her breathtaking performances in recent India vs England Series.
The India-England series has predominantly been the difference-maker in the latest rankings. India Women defeated England by seven wickets in the first of the three-match ODI series.
Smriti has climbed three positions to the seventh position in the ODI rankings after a match-winning knock of 91 runs in the first game against England. Her 111 runs in the last three T-20I series have helped her to leap to her career-best second position in the shortest format of the game.
