India women's Test and ODI team captain Mithali Raj rose to the No.1 spot in women's ODI rankings for batters following her excellent show in the three-match series against England, announced the ICC on Tuesday. This is the eighth time in her stellar 22-year international career that Raj has taken the top spot. Kate Cross’s haul of five for 34 in the second match of the series is instrumental in seeing her advance from 25th to 18th position. Nat Sciver and Sarah Glenn have both moved up one place to reach 22nd and 43rd positions, respectively. Among batters, Chedean Nation has progressed 17 places to 61st and Kycia Knight 20 places to 71st.
