Laura Wolvaardt: Smriti Mandhana, who made Team India champion in the Women’s World Cup, has lost her number 1 ranking. Mandhana performed brilliantly in the ICC Women’s World Cup but she could not save her number 1 rank. South African captain Laura Woolworth has replaced Mandhana. This player, who scored the maximum 571 runs in the Women’s World Cup, has now become the world’s number 1 ODI batsman. It was natural for Woolworth to be ranked number 1 because this player had played brilliant century innings in the semi-finals and the final. Woolworth achieved the top position by defeating two batsmen and also achieved the best rating (814) of his career.
Double pleasure for Laura Woolworth
Woolworth not only became the number 1 batsman but along with this she was also chosen the captain of the ICC’s best World Cup 2025 team. Talking about Woolworth’s performance in the Women’s World Cup, this player scored 571 runs in 9 matches at an average of 71.37. His strike rate was also around 100. This player scored 2 centuries and 3 half-centuries. He hit maximum 73 fours in the tournament. 7 sixes also came from his bat. Woolworth scored both his centuries in knock out matches. Talking about Mandhana, her rating points are only 811 and she has fallen to the second position. Mandhana suffered a setback but India’s second batsman Jemimah Rodrigues outwitted 9 batsmen.
Jemima-Deepti got good news
Jemima has now come in the top 10 batsmen, the ranking of this player is 10. Talking about bowlers, South Africa’s Marijne Kapp has achieved number 2 rank by defeating two players, England’s Ecclestone is still on the top. India’s Deepti Sharma is still at fifth position. However, Deepti Sharma has moved up one position to fourth position in the all-rounders’ rankings. Ashley Gardner is at number 1 position.
