West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor tops in Women's ODI Rankings

DUBAI: West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor has reclaimed the No. 1 spot in batting as well as in the list of all-rounders in the ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings after a fine effort in the first ODI in Coolidge (West Indies) that helped the hosts win by five wickets against Pakistan.

Stafanie's Player of the Match effort of 3/29 and an unbeaten 105 have helped her ascend all three lists. She has gained four positions and displaced India captain Mithali Raj from the top of the batters' list, has gained three places to reach 16th position among bowlers and is up two places to first among all-rounders, replacing Ellyse Perry of Australia.

Stafanie, who has been No.1 in all three lists in the past at different points in time, first attained number position among batters in March 2012 and the last time she was at the top was in November 2014. In the all-rounders' rankings, she was last number one in July 2017.

The latest weekly update, which includes performances in the first two ODIs of the West Indies-Pakistan series, also sees all-rounder Deandra Dottin re-enter the rankings in 28th position among batters and 47th among all-rounders. Kyshona Knight is up seven places to 53rd among batters while spinner Anisa Mohammed (up two places to 26th) and fast bowler Shamilia Connell (up four places to 39th) have moved up among bowlers.
