Annabel Sutherland gains big in ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings
Australian all-rounder Annabel Sutherland’s match-winning efforts in the ICC Women’s Championship series against New Zealand have helped her make rapid gains in the ICC Women’s ODI Player Rankings.
The 23-year-old has attained career best positions in all three lists after being adjudged Player of the Match in the second and third ODIs that Australia won after the first match was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
Her scores of 105 not out and 42 in the two matches have helped her shoot up 11 places to 18th position in the batting rankings while her haul of three for 39 in the third ODI has lifted her three places to 17th position in the bowling rankings. She has also moved up to seventh from ninth in the all-rounders’ list after being named the Player of the Series.
Captain Alyssa Healy’s scores of 34 and 39 in the two matches have lifted her two places to eighth position while Phoebe Litchfield has inched up one place to 24th among batters in the latest weekly updated that also takes into consideration performances in the first ODI between India and the West Indies at Vadodara.
New Zealand’s Maddy Green (up four places to 17th) and the Indian trio of Jemimah Rodrigues (up two places to 26th), Richa Ghosh (up four places to 48th) and Harleen Deol (up six places to 58th) have also moved up the list while the West Indies’ Deandra Dottin returns to the rankings in 30th position.
In the bowling rankings, India’s new-ball bowler Renuka Singh Thakur has moved into the top 20 for the first time after a match-winning haul of five for 29. Australia pacer Kim Garth is up four places to 13th after taking three wickets in two matches while leg-spinners Amelia Kerr of New Zealand (up one place to 11th) and Alana King of Australia (up two places to 12th) are other major gainers.
New Zealand captain Sophie Devine and Australia’s Darcie Brown and Elysse Perry are among others to move up the ODI rankings.
In the Women’s T20I Player Rankings, Beth Mooney of Australia holds on to the top position with 757 rating points even as India opener Smriti Mandhana and West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews have moved within 10 points of her.
Mandhana, who cracked half-centuries in all three T20Is against the West Indies, is up to second position with a career-best 753 rating points while Mathews’ 85 not out in the second T20I has helped her advance two places to third.
Rodrigues (up one place to 14th), Ghosh (up five places to 23rd) and Dottin (up four places to 35th) have all moved up this list while spinners Afy Fletcher of the West Indies (up two places to 14th) and the India pair of Radha Yadav (up three places to 16th) and Shreyanka Patil (up one place to 20th) have progressed in the bowling rankings.
