Mithali Raj, Marizanne Kapp move into top three in ICC Ranking

There was a lot of movement in the ranking tables at the end of the Sri Lanka v India and Windies v South Africa one-day international series.

The Asian teams met in Galle and Katunayake, where India beat hosts Sri Lanka 2-1, while in Bridgetown, the series between the Windies and South Africa ended 1-1.

That left the ICC Women’s Championship table looking interesting, with the top three of New Zealand, Australia, and England staying where they were, and the sequence below them reading 4. The Windies, 5. Pakistan, 6. India, 7. South Africa, and 8. Sri Lanka. All teams bar Australia and Pakistan, who have played six matches each and will meet in Kuala Lumpur next month, have played nine games so far.

All-round Deandra Dottin, centurion Hayley Matthews help @windieswomen to a comprehensive victory over @OfficialCSA Women in the third ODI to level series 1-1.

India had won the series against Sri Lanka after winning the first two games, but the third one witnessed a fantastic contest, between the teams, of course, but also between Mithali Raj and Chamari Athapaththu, the two captains.
