Dubai [UAE], April 2 (ANI): Formerly top-ranked batters Ellyse Perry of Australia and Suzie Bates of New Zealand have progressed in the ICC Women’s ODI Batting Rankings while England’s Amy Jones has attained career-best 17th position after their performances in recent matches.
Perry’s unbeaten 27 in the final match of their Women’s Championship series against Bangladesh in Mirpur, which Australia won 3-0, marks her return to the top five of the batting rankings, which are led by England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt.
Bates has advanced five slots to 11th position after scoring 50 in the first ODI against England in Wellington. Jones, whose 92 not out from 83 balls helped her team win that match by four wickets, has moved up 10 places.
Charlie Dean of England and the Zimbabwe pair of Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano and captain Mary-Anne Musonda are all ranked joint-61st after the latest weekly update to the women’s rankings which also considers performances during Papua New Guinea’s tour of Zimbabwe.

Cross’s haul of two for 24 in Wellington has lifted her two places to fourth position while Garth’s Player of the Match effort of three for 11 in Mirpur has helped her move from 27th to 22nd.
Bangladesh’s upcoming leg-spinner Rabeya Khan (up four places to 47th), Perry (up three places to 49th) and Zimbabwe’s medium-fast bowler Josephine Nkomo (up 23 places to 58th) are among the others to move up the ladder.
