Top Ranking Within Sight As South Africa Skipper Laura Wolvaardt Makes Rapid Rise
T20I Player Rankings: South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt has been rewarded for her recent good form by rising to a career-high rating on the latest ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings.
Wolvaardt scored a match-winning unbeaten 49* in the third and final game of South Africa's recent T20I series against Bangladesh and moved up two places on the updated rankings for batters to third place overall and a career-best rating of 723 points.
It means Wolvaardt only has Australia duo Tahlia McGrath and Beth Mooney ahead of her on the latest T20I rankings and the pair are within sight for the South Africa opener with just 71 rating points between the top three batters.
