Dubai, Nov. 4 -- A record Cricket World Cup campaign from Laura Wolvaardt has propelled the South Africa captain to the No.1 spot in the latest ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings.
Wolvaardt overtakes tournament winner Smriti Mandhana in the update, and it took an incredible effort to go to the top, making hundreds in both the Semi-Final and Final in India.
The two innings took Wolvaardt to 571 runs, the most in a single edition of the tournament, and the run was rewarded with a two spot jump to top spot, and a career-high rating of 814.
