Tazmin Brits and Ash Gardner Shine in ODI Rankings

Tazmin Brits and Ash Gardner have made headlines following their outstanding performances in the Women’s ODI World Cup. Brits scored a match-winning century, pushing her to fourth place in the ODI rankings for women batters, while Gardner, with her own century, is now ranked fifth.

Brits lifted her ranking by two spots after scoring 101 off 89 balls against New Zealand, while Gardner’s impressive 115 runs in 83 balls contributed to a seven-place jump. The current top three remain Smriti Mandhana, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Beth Mooney, but the rise of both Brits and Gardner has led to other notable players dropping in the rankings.

Meanwhile, Sophie Devine has also risen to eighth place, while Sidra Amin and Chamari Athapaththu now share the tenth position. Devine, despite New Zealand’s losses, leads the tournament run-scorers’ table with 197 runs, showcasing her talent and determination.

Brits’ journey this year has been remarkable, achieving her fifth century and fourth in just five innings. Her scoring streak began in April with an impressive 109 against India and includes multiple match-winning scores. The ODI World Cup has highlighted the formidable talent of these players, leading the women’s cricket ecosystem into an exciting new era.
