Key Highlights:
Sneh Rana Makes Stunning Comeback in ODI Rankings After Tri-Series Heroics Against Sri Lanka
Sneh Rana has re-entered the ICC Women’s ODI Bowler Rankings at 57th following a remarkable comeback performance during India’s tri-series opener against Sri Lanka. Making her return to the 50-over format after nearly 18 months, the seasoned all-rounder proved instrumental with a three-wicket haul that helped India secure a dominant nine-wicket victory.
The tri-series, currently being played in Colombo between India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa, saw Rana exhibit her characteristic control and precision, reaffirming her place as a key asset for India’s bowling unit.
Sneh Rana’s Tri-Series Impact
Facing Sri Lanka, Rana delivered an impressive spell, dismantling the hosts’ batting lineup and ensuring India’s seamless chase later in the match. Her performance was a major highlight of India’s bowling attack, restricting Sri Lanka to a modest total.
Alongside Rana, young batters Pratika Rawal and Harleen Deol also made headlines:
- Pratika Rawal jumped 10 places to reach 47th on the ODI batter rankings after an unbeaten 50.
- Harleen Deol rose four spots to 49th after scoring a solid 48 not out.
India’s Resurgence in Women’s ODI Rankings
While England’s Sophie Ecclestone continues to lead the ODI bowler rankings globally, India’s emerging performances signal a broader revival in women’s cricket for the nation.
Rana’s return to form adds depth to India’s spin department, especially important as the team gears up for upcoming ICC events, including the Women’s Champions Trophy 2025.
What Lies Ahead for Sneh Rana
With India performing strongly in the tri-series, Sneh Rana is poised to cement her spot once again in India’s ODI setup. Her form, fitness, and ability to deliver in pressure moments make her one of the most important names to watch as India prepares for bigger international tournaments later this year.
Fans and selectors will closely track Rana’s consistency, especially given her value as a dual-threat all-rounder capable of winning matches with both bat and ball.
