Among women bowlers, India's Jhulan Goswami remained on the second spot with 652 rating points, behind Marizanne Kapp (656) of South Africa.Meanwhile, defending champion Australia's 2-1 victory over England in the ICC Women's Championship series has not only helped them garner four useful points but also regain the top spot in the women's team rankings.
England had displaced Australia from the top spot for the first time after the annual update earlier this month. Starting the series ahead on decimal points with both teams on 128 points, Australia made the most of the home conditions to prevail despite the absence of first-choice captain and leading batter Lanning, going up to 129 points and ensuring a two-point lead in the process.
