ICC Women’s ODI Team Rankings: India Women Slip to 3rd Spot, England Women Rise

The latest ICC Women’s ODI Team Rankings have brought a twist in the standings, with India Women dropping to the third position while England Women climbed to second place.

Despite India’s impressive start in the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, where they have won both their matches so far, the rankings update came just before their commanding victory over Pakistan Women, which means that win hasn’t yet been factored into the standings.

While Australia Women continue to lead the chart with a comfortable margin, England’s steady run and superior rating have pushed them above India for now. The Indian side, however, remains well within striking distance to reclaim their position, especially with their strong showing in the ongoing World Cup being played across India and Sri Lanka.

England’s rise to the second spot highlights their revival. After a convincing 10-wicket victory over South Africa Women in the World Cup, Nat Sciver's team showed why they remain one of the most balanced and dangerous sides in the format. Meanwhile, India’s consistent run, including their wins against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, shows the team’s growing depth and confidence under Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership.

Here’s a look at the latest ICC Women’s ODI Team Rankings (as updated before India’s win over Pakistan on October 5, 2025):

With the Women’s World Cup 2025 in full swing, these rankings are set to witness more movement in the coming days. If India continues their winning momentum, they could soon reclaim the No. 2 spot or even challenge Australia’s supremacy at the top. For now, though, England’s climb and India’s temporary slip add another layer of excitement to what has already been a thrilling start to the tournament.
