India's Smriti Mandhana has climbed to the top of the ICC Women's ODI batting rankings following a productive multi-format series against Australia, reaching a rating of 790 points.

Mandhana made scores of 58 and 31 during the series, doing enough to edge past South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt (790 points) at the top of the batting charts โ€” the pair separated by decimal points after the weekly update.

In the bowling rankings, Australia's Alana King made history by claiming the #1 ODI bowling spot with a rating of 775, ending Sophie Ecclestone's near four-year reign at the top. King was dominant throughout the series, taking 4/33 in the third ODI as Australia won by 185 runs.
