DUBAI: Indian players top the
International Cricket Council's ODI women's rankings with Mithali Raj taking the
numero uno spot in the batting chart and Jhulan Goswami heading the bowling list
issued on Saturday.
But Claire Taylor has a chance to topple Mithali
from the number one spot when England goes head to head first with Ireland in a
one off ODI and then with New Zealand in a five-match series this
month.
Taylor currently sits third in the batting rankings. In the
ODI bowlers rankings, England's Katherine Brunt, currently ranked fourth, only
has 65 points between her and Jhulan and the 25-year-old will only need a few
wickets to displace Australia's Lisa Sthalekar in third
place.
Brunt's team-mates Holly Colvin, Nicky Shaw and Laura Marsh
are currently occupying sixth, seventh and eighth and will all be pushing to
rise up the rankings.
The ODI all-rounders rankings is currently
topped by Australian Shelley Nitschke.
