Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu shot as much as the highest of the ladies's ODI rankings for batters after her two unbeaten centuries within the sequence in opposition to New Zealand. She has thus change into the primary lady from Sri Lanka to prime the ODI rankings.

The left-hand batter now has eight centuries to go together with her 15 half-centuries in ODIs.

Mooney, Laura Wolvaardt, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Meg Lanning, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana all dropped one spot every as Athapaththu moved up from seventh place within the rankings.

Athapaththu has now emulated one other left-handed opener, Sanath Jayasuriya, who's the one Sri Lankan man to prime the ODI batting charts.

During her whirlwind knock within the third ODI, Athapaththu placed on 190 runs for the third wicket with Nilakshi de Silva, which is the very best partnership for Sri Lanka in girls's ODIs. Her heroics helped Sri Lanka win their first bilateral sequence in opposition to New Zealand.
