There is more joy on the rankings for South Africa, with experienced duo Aiden Markram (up four rungs to 21) and Temba Bavuma (up five spots to 23) both gaining ground on the latest list for ODI batters following half-centuries in that opening game of the ongoing series with Australia.
Stand-in skipper Mitch Marsh played a lone hand during that contest with a superb innings of 88 and was rewarded by gaining six places to improve to 48th on the latest rankings for ODI batters, while West Indies hard-hitter Shai Hope jumps two spots to ninth on the same list after his side’s series against Pakistan.
