T20I Player Rankings: New Zealand captain Sophie Devine and England’s wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones have progressed in the ICC Women’s ODI Batting Rankings after the end of their ICC Women’s Championship series which England won 2-1.

Devine, who missed the fifth match of a preceding T20I series and the first two games of the ODI series due to a quad strain, produced a 93-ball 100 not out to win the final match for her team, moving from 20th to a career-best-equaling 10th position in the batting rankings. Jones struck 48 and 50 in the last two matches of the series played in Hamilton that were taken into consideration in the latest weekly update to the women’s rankings, progressing five slots and attaining a career-best 12th position.

New Zealand’s Brooke Halliday (up nine places to 43rd) and England’s Maia Bouchier (up 19 places to 71st) are among others to gain in the batting rankings.
