DUBAI: South Africa's batter Tazmin Brits made a significant leap in the latest ICC women’s ODI player rankings, released on Tuesday, ahead of the Women’s World Cup starting next week in India.
While South Africa faced Pakistan in a three-match ODI series, India hosted Australia for an equally intensive series as teams prepare for their World Cup campaign. Both South Africa and Australia won their respective series with a similar score of 2-1, with players, especially batters, earning substantial points thanks to their top performances.
Against Pakistan, Brits scored her career-best innings of an unbeaten 171 off 141 balls, including 20 fours and four sixes. While Brits scored back-to-back centuries against Pakistan, Mandhana also scored consecutive centuries in the second and third ODI
