Sidra Ameen, Chamari Athapaththu, Gaby Lewis make big jump in the latest ranking update

Pakistan batter Sidra Ameen has leapfrogged 19 spots in the latest ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings following her sensational returns in the recently-concluded three-match series against Sri Lanka.

Ameen was the star of the show for Pakistan women in their recent 2-1 triumph against their Lankan counterparts. In three games, Ameen hammered 218 runs at an average of 72.66. She was subsequently adjudged the 'Player of the Series'. 

As a result, the right-handed batter has now jumped 19 spots to claim the 35th spot in the women's ODI batting rankings. 

Earlier this year, she became the first Pakistani woman to notch up a three-figure score in the history of the 50-over World Cup when she scored a magnificent 104 against Bangladesh in New Zealand.

Apart from Sidra, legendary Sri Lankan batter Chamari Athapaththu has regained the 23rd spot in the rankings.

Chamari was instrumental in Sri Lanka capping off a disappointing tour with a consolation win in the third ODI against Pakistan as she hammered a breathtaking 101 besides chipping in with two crucial wickets.

Meanwhile, current Ireland skipper Gaby Lewis has made a big move in the T20I rankings for batters.

The 21-year-old, who made history last week when she became the youngest to lead her country, smashed a whirlwind 58 against South Africa in the 1st T20I to lead her side to a historic win.

Lewis has thus far scored 83 runs in two games of the three-match series, and as a result, she has moved up 7 spots to claim the 23rd spot.

As far as South African women cricketers are concerned, Tazmin Brits and Chloe Tyron have moved up three and four spots to claim the 36th and 49th place, respectively. While right-arm seamer Nadine de Klerk has moved up to claim the 25th and 48th spot in the all-rounders and bowling rankings, respectively.

Pacer Tumi Sekhukhune, who has claimed 5 wickets in two matches, is the biggest beneficiary as she has leapfrogged 20 spots to claim the 27th.

South Africa and Ireland will play the decider of the three-match series on Wednesday, June 08.
