Jess Jonassen, the left-arm spinner has climbed to the No. 1 spot in the ICC ODI rankings for women bowlers. Jess earned it after she took eight wickets in three matches against India in the recent tour. Jonassen's team-mate and opening batswomn Megan Schutt rose to No. 2 as the duo overtook Marizanne Kapp and Jhulan Goswami, who are third and fourth respectively.

Jess Jonassen has a career-best 676 points after she ended as the leading wicket-taker in the 3-0 series win in Vadodara. Right behind her was leg-spinner Amanda-Jade Willington with five wickets who is yet to break into the top 20 of the ICC ranking. "Coming over to India as a spinner is always an exciting time. For me, I'm just happy I've been able to contribute to the team's success," Jonassen said.

Among the batswomen ranking list, New Zealand skipper Suzie Bates overtook her counterparts Meg Lanning and Mithali Raj to be placed at No. 2, just behind Perry. Australia opener Nicole Bolton jumped nine places to fourth spot right behind Perry, Bates and Lanning by scoring 195 runs against India, including an unbeaten 100 runs in the first ODI. She was named the Player of the Series in her first series in India, where she played the spinners and pacers with equal ease. Harmanpreet Kaur dropped to ninth place, Smriti Mandhana, who scored two half-centuries, went up to 14th place whereas Alyssa Healy rose to 16th spot with her maiden international hundred in the third ODI.
