Powering Sri Lanka to the highest successful run-chase in women's ODIs has seen Chamari Athapaththu go to the top of the ICC Women's ODI Batting Rankings in the latest update.
Athapaththu's stellar knock in the third and final ODI helped Sri Lanka level the three-match series in South Africa.
Chasing a record target of 302 to win, Athapaththu led Sri Lanka’s fightback with a brilliant 195*, the third-highest score in women’s ODIs.
It's also the second-highest score by anyone in a successful run chase in ODI cricket - men's and women's - right behind Glenn Maxwell's 201* against Afghanistan in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.
