DUBAI: India skipper Mithali Raj maintained her second spot in the ICC Women’s ODI player rankings even as New Zealand batter Amy Satterthwaite moved up to number three after a splendid show in the series-opener against India.
Raj made 59 off 73 balls in India’s 62-run defeat in the first ODI of the five-match series in Queenstown.
Satterthwaite, who smashed a 67-ball 63 and was involved in an important 98-run third wicket partnership with opener Suzie Bates, has overtaken Australia’s Beth Mooney with a gain of 13 rating points.
She is now 15 rating points behind Raj, who is second with 744 in the list led by Australia opener Alyssa Healy who has 749 rating points.
Bates’ 11th ODI hundred, which helped her team take a 1-0 lead in the series, has lifted her into the world’s top 20 batters in ODIs for the first time in six months.
The former captain has advanced five places to 17th position in the latest weekly update that includes the last match of the Australia-England series….
