Riding on Jemimah Rodrigues’ first international century during the second ODI match against Ireland, the Indian star batter improved her position to 15th in the ICC rankings for women batters.
Jemimah Rodrigues’s performance has placed her on three spots additional for the women’s batters ranking as she played a player rating of 612 and her century also rounded her target of 102 runs from a collection of 91 balls. On the stage off the performance, during the match, she also played the guitar which contributed in improving her ranking.
All four sixes allowed her to tidy up some loose ends. She led the third wicket partnership with Harleen Deol, who narrowly missed scoring and instead netted 89 runs. Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana half endeavored with scoring and achieving additional run batting. Rawal scored 89 runs which contributed to India achieving their highest ever ODI total of 370 runs while also beaming the highest wickets of 5 runs.
Youngster Pratika, on the other hand, has jumped from the batting caste to the 65th spot marking a 52 spot rise. This rise indeed indicates an improvement in her position.
Up top, she has handled herself elegantly after the absence of Shafali Verma as the opener ever since their encounter against the West Indies late last month.
She has only played five one day internationals but has expertly accumulated 290 runs at an extraordinary average of 58 which includes three fifties. In the series against Ireland, she scored 89 and 67 back to back and was able to hit two half centuries in a single series.
On January 12, Australia was competing for the Women’s Ashes and one of their ODI chasers, Alyssa Healy, grabbed the attention of many as she was overthrown in the Aussie rankings. Healy performed really well in Australia’s chase where they set a total of 205 against England by scoring 70.
With her Weeter estimate reached to fifth now, her memorable knock shifted her four places. She positioned fourth as he was outpaced by Laura Wolvaardt Cha here, Chamari Athapaththu, Mandhana and Natalie Sciver Brunt. Mandhana surpassed her expectations by scoring 41 and 73 in the inaugural two ODIs when Australian females challenged them. As the curtain-closing tussle on Wednesday, I e, the 15th of July bends between India and Ireland, Shimronet and Irish women have just if a few more chances at the ICC rankings.
