KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain Sana Mir’s impressive performance with the ball in the One-Day International series against Australia has catapulted her to the top of the ICC women’s ODI rankings for bowlers.

According to media reports, the off-spinner who reached a career-best 663 points swapped places with Australia’s Jess Jonassen, who slipped to the fourth position.

She also overtook South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp and Australia pacer Megan Schutt, who is placed second with 660 points.

Mir finished the three-match series as the highest wicket-taker with seven scalps — boasting figures of three for 53, one for 57 and three for 26.

Australia’s Ellyse Perry and captain Meg Lanning, who struck 124 in the second ODI, retained their top and second positions, respectively, on the rankings for batswomen.

For Pakistan, Nahida Khan is the top-ranked batsman on the 25th position after scores of 17, 66 and 37 in the ODI series.
