ODI Batting Rankings: India's Smriti Mandhana continues to reign supreme in the latest ICC Women’s ODI Batting Rankings, maintaining her No. 1 position after another commanding performance at the Women’s World Cup 2025.

Mandhana’s fluent 80 in Visakhapatnam helped her consolidate her lead at the top, as a host of other standout performers made major gains in the latest update.

Australia’s Alyssa Healy made one of the biggest moves of the week, soaring nine places to joint-fourth following her scintillating 142 in Australia’s stunning chase against India.

With 700 rating points, Healy now sits behind Mandhana, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Beth Mooney, and shares her position with Laura Wolvaardt.

The South Africa skipper also climbed three places to joint-fourth after consistent knocks, including a match-winning 70 against India. Meanwhile, New Zealand captain Sophie Devine, the leading run-scorer in the tournament so far, rose two places to sixth, underlining her impact at the World Cup.

Further down the list, South Africa’s rising star Nadine de Klerk made an eye-catching jump of 26 spots to 32nd, following her vital contributions in successful Proteas run chases in Visakhapatnam.
