The ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings updated on 13 October 2026 reflect Australia's commanding 2-0 lead in their home three-match series against Bangladesh, with Ellyse Perry re-entering the top 10 among batters and both Annabel Sutherland and Megan Schutt climbing into the top five of the bowling standings. The series, part of the ICC Women's Championship, has been played in Brisbane.
Sutherland's All-Round Surge
Annabel Sutherland was one of the most impactful performers across the opening two matches. In the first ODI at Allan Border Field, she claimed four wickets and then contributed an unbeaten 25 runs with the bat to help Australia close out victory. That all-round display lifted her three places to 17th in the ODI batting rankings and one place to fourth among ODI bowlers — placing her firmly in the elite tier of the format.
Schutt and Perry Make Their Mark
Megan Schutt rode her four-wicket haul in the second match to climb two positions to fifth in the ODI bowling standings, giving Australia three of the top five bowlers in the format. Meanwhile, veteran batter Ellyse Perry rose two places to 10th, returning to the top 10 after slipping out in an earlier update. Young batter Georgia Voll recorded one of the biggest individual gains in the batting chart, jumping eight places to 28th following her contributions in the series.
Bangladesh Movers Despite Series Deficit
Despite trailing 0-2, Bangladesh have seen two of their players gain ground. Captain Nigar Sultana Joty moved up 11 places to share 24th position in the ODI batting rankings, and Sobhana Mostary gained 11 spots to share 35th. Notably, individual ranking progress can occur even in defeat when a player's performances surpass those of others in the broader pool of ranked cricketers.
Taylor Leads T20I Gains After West Indies Series Sweep
The latest update also captures performances from the women's T20I series between West Indies and Zimbabwe, played in Harare. Stafanie Taylor was the standout mover: the 35-year-old struck 64 off 39 deliveries in the final match to help West Indies complete a 3-0 series sweep. Her innings translated into a seven-place climb to share 40th among T20I batters and a remarkable 29-place jump to 39th in the T20I all-rounders' standings.
Zimbabwe's Consolation Gains
Zimbabwe's Kelis Ndhlovu moved up five places to 67th in the T20I batting rankings despite the series loss, while Beloved Biza climbed 10 positions to share 45th among T20I all-rounders. With the Australia-Bangladesh series still to conclude, further ranking movements are expected before the next update cycle.
Point of View
And Perry's return to the top 10 shows the veterans are not done. What the rankings do not capture is the Bangladesh context: gaining 11 places in a 0-2 deficit tells you more about the thinness of the broader field than about a Bangladesh revival. Taylor's 29-place T20I all-rounders' jump from a single innings is a reminder that West Indies women remain capable of individual brilliance — the question is whether the team can sustain it across a full cycle.
