Following their 3-0 series win over Sri Lanka, South Africa have moved to fifth on the Women’s One-Day International rankings.
The series forms part of the Women’s Championship series and carries with it direct qualification for the Women’s 50-over World Cup.
South Africa’s Mignon Du Preez has gained one place to reach 22nd position among batters, while her compatriot Sune Luus (up three places to 35th) and former Sri Lanka captain Inoka Ranaweera (up eight places to 26th) are the major gainers among bowlers after finishing with five wickets each in their series played in Potchefstroom.
Meanwhile, South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk has dropped behind India’s Deepti Sharma in the list of all-rounders. Sharma is now at a career-high third place and with a chance to emulate or do better than her compatriots in an upcoming Women’s Championship home series against England.
Further down the rankings for batters, Marizanne Kapp has moved up eight places to 32nd and Andrie Steyn rose seven spots to 51st.
With the ball, Masabata Klaas climbs four positions to 47th.
