England rise: Latest Women's ODI Rankings
Sophia Dunkley takes third after big century
Sophia Dunkley has skyrocketed into the top three in the ICC Women's ODI Rankings after a stunning century for England against India on Sunday.
The 23-year-old all-rounder hit an unbeaten 176 from 131 balls at Hove, helping England chase down a target of 334 with more than seven overs to spare and take a 2-1 lead in the three-match series.
Dunkley's innings was the second-highest score by an England woman in ODIs, behind only Tammy Beaumont's 171 against Australia in 2019.
Tammy Beaumont moves into top ten
Dunkley's rise up the rankings has been at the expense of India's Smriti Mandhana, who has dropped to fourth.
England captain Heather Knight remains in second place, while West Indies' Stafanie Taylor is the new No. 1.
Tammy Beaumont has also moved into the top ten, rising from 11th to ninth.
Katherine Brunt moves into top 20
Katherine Brunt has moved into the top 20 of the ICC Women's ODI Rankings after taking three wickets for England against India on Sunday.
The 37-year-old seamer has now taken 11 wickets in the series, and is England's leading wicket-taker in ODIs this year.
Brunt's rise up the rankings has been aided by the absence of Australia's Ellyse Perry, who is currently sidelined with injury.
England bowler Nat Sciver breaks into top 20
England bowler Nat Sciver has broken into the top 20 of the ICC Women's ODI Rankings for the first time.
The 28-year-old all-rounder has taken four wickets in the series against India, and has also scored 104 runs.
Sciver's rise up the rankings is a reflection of her growing all-round ability, and she is now one of England's most important players.
