In the bowlers' rankings, Jhulan Goswami, Shikha Pandey and Poonam Yadav have also moved down to 6th, 8th and 9th positions respectively. Two South African bowlers who moved up in the ODI rankings are right-arm fast-medium Shabnim Ismail and Marizanne Kapp. Ismail is at the seventh spot with a move of one place while Kapp moved two places and finished as the fifth-ranked.
