New Delhi, Oct 27: India all-rounder Deepti Sharma and opener Pratika Rawal have made significant gains in the latest ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings following their impressive performances against Zimbabwe, while captain Smriti Mandhana has slipped from the top spot in the batting charts.

Deepti's all-round brilliance in India's ongoing ICC Women's Championship series against Zimbabwe has lifted her in all three rankings categories. The right-hander moved up four places to 23rd among batters, climbed one spot to eighth among bowlers and advanced two places to fourth in the all-rounders' list.

India have dominated the three-match ODI series in Vadodara, winning the first two games by nine wickets and 121 runs respectively to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.

Deepti Sharma Climbs in All Three ODI Rankings

Deepti has been one of India's standout performers in the series, taking five wickets across the first two matches before producing a match-winning century in the second ODI.

Her 106 off 86 balls helped India strengthen their position in the series and showcased her value as a batting all-rounder. The performance has translated into gains across the ICC rankings, with Deepti now fourth among ODI all-rounders.

Harmanpreet Kaur has also benefited from her impressive form. The India captain smashed 126 off 121 deliveries in the second ODI, moving up two places to eighth in the women's ODI batting rankings.

Pratika Rawal Reaches Career-Best ODI Ranking

Pratika Rawal has continued to strengthen her position in India's batting line-up, moving up seven places to a career-best 21st in the ODI batting rankings with 598 rating points.

Rawal scored her third ODI century in the opening match against Zimbabwe, making 100 off 96 balls. She followed that effort with a 61 off 67 deliveries in the second ODI, helping India maintain their dominance.

Shafali Verma has also made progress, climbing 15 places to 73rd in the batting rankings.

Smriti Mandhana Loses Top Spot to Laura Wolvaardt

Smriti Mandhana has slipped one place to second in the ODI batting rankings following scores of 32 and zero in the first two matches against Zimbabwe.

Her dip has allowed South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt to return to the top spot for the first time since November 2025. Wolvaardt's latest rise marks her ninth separate stint at No. 1, having first reached the summit in March 2022.

India pacer Kranti Gaud has also gained ground after taking three wickets for 43 runs in the opening ODI. She moved up two places to 25th among ODI bowlers and three places to 33rd in the all-rounders' rankings.

Australia Players Rise After New Zealand T20I Series

Australia's home T20I series against New Zealand ended with the third match washed out, but the hosts had already secured the series after winning the opening two games.

Ash Gardner's explosive 84 off 45 balls in the second T20I lifted her nine places to 19th in the batting rankings. Georgia Wareham moved up four places to joint-seventh among bowlers after taking three wickets for 18 runs in the same match.
