|April 16, 2025
AS THE race for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 intensifies through the ongoing Qualifier, several standout performers have been rewarded with significant leaps in the latest ICC Women’s ODI Rankings — a testament to their match-winning contributions on the big stage.
-
Leading the pack is West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews, who continues to stake a strong claim for the No.1 all-rounder spot currently held by Australia’s Ashleigh Gardner.
Matthews has been in imperious form in Pakistan, smashing an unbeaten century and picking up 10 wickets in her first three games.
Her all-round brilliance has elevated her to 432 rating points, narrowing the gap on South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp (444) and Gardner (470), and firmly placing her ahead of England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt (375), who sits fourth.
Her performances with the ball have pushed her up two places to a joint-seventh position in the ODI Bowling Rankings, where she is now level with Australia’s Alana King at 642 points.
