India’s Smriti Mandhana holds her position close behind at No. 2 with 811 points. Despite slipping one spot in the latest reshuffle, Mandhana remains in striking distance of the top ranking. She had reached a career-high 828 rating points earlier this year against Bangladesh in Mumbai, a performance that had briefly taken her to the summit.
Australia’s Ashleigh Gardner continues her ascent in the ODI format, climbing to No. 3 with 738 points—a career-best she achieved in the recent India series in Mumbai. England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt, a long-standing pillar of consistency in women’s cricket, occupies the fourth spot with 714 points. Her peak remains the 807 rating points she secured against Sri Lanka at Leicester in 2023.
Australia continues to dominate the top tier with multiple players in the elite bracket. Beth Mooney, ranked fifth with 700 points, maintains her stature despite being below her 2023 career high of 776 earned at Bristol. Fellow Australian Alyssa Healy stands sixth at 688 points, well short of her peak 785 reached in Christchurch in 2022. At No. 7, New Zealand captain Sophie Devine shares the position with Australia’s Ellyse Perry, both locked at 669 points. Devine touched her career-best 694 against Pakistan in Colombo earlier this year, while Perry’s highest rating of 776 dates back to her celebrated 2018 performance in Vadodara.
West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews, holding ninth place with 663 points, continues to be the Caribbean side’s most influential batter. Her career-best 699 rating was achieved against Scotland at Lahore in 2025. India’s Jemimah Rodrigues rounds out the top ten, ranked tenth with 658 points, just eleven short of her personal high of 669, recorded earlier this year against Australia in Mumbai.
The updated rankings underscore an increasingly competitive landscape in women’s ODI cricket, with top performers from multiple nations pushing the standards higher each series. As the women’s game continues to expand in reach and intensity, these rankings reflect not only individual excellence but also the growing depth and globalisation of the sport.
