Jhulan Goswami rises, Mithali dethroned

DUBAI: Jhulan Goswami has climbed to the second spot in the ICC Women's ODI Rankings for bowling after the update on Tuesday. Alyssa Healy, the Australia wicketkeeper-batter, moved up a place to No.2 in the batter's rankings, just 11 rating points short of topper Lizelle Lee, while Beth Mooney moved up eight places to break into the top ten.

Goswami's rise comes after a stellar display in the ODI series, which Australia won 2-1. Her four wickets in the three-match series came at an average of 28.75, with her return of 3/37 in the final ODI helping India break Australia's astonishing winning streak of 26 ODIs.

India captain Mithali Raj lost her top spot in batting. The 38-year-old Raj, who scored just 87 runs at an average of 29 in the just-concluded three-match series against Australia, has slid to third place with 738 points in her kitty. Agencies
