Sidra started the year on a high as she became just the first Pakistani woman batter to score a century in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. With her second this year against Sri Lanka, she has also levelled with Javeria Khan as the second batter to score two centuries for Pakistan in Women’s ODIs.
Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu, on the other hand, also returned to the rankings following her remarkable century against Pakistan in the third ODI, bolstering her to claim the 23rd ranking.
Australia’s Alyssa Healy still leads the ODI batter rankings after a dominating Women’s World Cup earlier this year.
