The star performer of the South African side has got a massive reward in the ICC rankings post the first few games during the 2025 season of the ICC Women's World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

India’s southpaw opener, Smriti Mandhana still remains at the top of the batting ranking with a healthy advantage but a host of players have made ground during the early stages of the eight-team tournament.

On the other hand, fellow centurion, Ash Gardner, of Australia, has also got seven spots to rise to the fifth position as both players achieve their new career-high ratings.
