Harmanpreet Kaur moves up in ICC Rankings

Dubai, July 25 (CRICKETNMORE): Indian cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur's brilliant performance in the just-concluded ICC Women's World Cup lifted her to No.6 spot in the latest International Cricket Council rankings for batswomen, released here on Tuesday.

Harmanpreet vaulted seven slots to the No.6 position after firing a swashbuckling unbeaten 171 to help India defeat Australia by 36 runs in the semi-final and followed that with a fighting 51 in the final, which India narrowly lost to England by nine runs at Lord's on Sunday, according to an ICC statement.

The Punjab batswoman is now the second Indian to feature in the top-10 after her second-ranked skipper Mithali Raj, who is 10 points behind Australia captain Meg Lanning. Australia's Ellyse Perry is third, trailing Raj by 12 points.
