Mandhana dropped to second with 811 points, despite being the second-highest run-scorer (434 runs at 54.25), while Australia all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner third with 714. India\u2019s match-winner in the semi-final against Australia, Jemimah Rodrigues, made a huge nine-spot jump to 10th.<\/p>\n

Australia legend Ellyse Perry, who played mostly as a specialist batter in the tournament, also gained three places to be joint-seventh with Sophie Devine. Others in the top-10 remained steady.<\/p>\n

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur moved up four places to 14th, while Phoebe Litchfield, who also scored a ton in the final, got up 13 spots to 13th.<\/p>\n

Deepti Sharma\u2019s five-wicket haul in the final and Player of the Tournament performance at the World Cup weren\u2019t enough for her to move up from the fifth spot in the bowlers\u2019 rankings. England\u2019s Sophie Ecclestone remained top while the Proteas\u2019 Marizanne Kapp moved second. Kapp moved to a rating of 712, with Australians Annabel Sutherland (sixth) and Kim Garth (seventh) making one-spot moves in the top 10.<\/p>\n

Deepti did gain a spot in the all-rounder\u2019s rankings to fourth, overtaking Sutherland, while South Africa\u2019s Nadine de Klerk entered the top-10 to 10th.<\/p>\n
