Laura Wolvaardt has crossed Smriti Mandhana to get to the No. 1 spot in the ICC's ODI batting rankings for women after her centuries in the semi-final and final of the World Cup in India.

Wolvaardt's 169 in the win against England in the semi-final, and then the 101 in a losing cause against India in the final, gave her an aggregate of 571 runs in the tournament, a record for World Cups, and that took her up to 814 ratings points, a career high for her, and three more than Mandhana's 811.
