Bangladesh Batters Shine in ICC Rankings Despite World Cup Exit
DHAKA, Oct 22, 2025 (BSS) – While the Bangladesh Women’s Cricket team faces an early exit from the ongoing Cricket World Cup, individual performances have brought some good news for the Tigresses. Several batters have climbed in the latest ICC rankings, reflecting their contributions despite the team’s struggles.
Sobhana Mostary, a middle-order batter, made the most significant leap, surging 13 places to secure the 57th position. This rise follows her impressive half-century (66 runs off 80 balls) against Australia, although her efforts couldn’t prevent a 10-wicket defeat.
Sharmin Akter Supta is now the highest-ranked Bangladeshi batter, moving up two spots to 29th. Captain Nigar Sultana Joty also climbed two places to reach 34th in the rankings.
These three batters have been the leading run-scorers for Bangladesh in the tournament. Supta has amassed 176 runs, followed closely by Sobhana with 169 and Joty with 148.
Bangladesh’s sole victory in the tournament came against Pakistan, where they secured a seven-wicket win. They will conclude their World Cup campaign against India on October 26 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
