With this win, Australia have extended their lead in the ICC Women’s Championship standings, sitting comfortably at the top with 32 points, ahead of second-placed England with 28 points. India are at No.3 with 25 points.
In the current cycle,India has 7 more matches to play (1 vs Australia, 3 vs West Indies and 3 vs Ireland) while Australia have 4 more matches to play (1 vs India, 3 vs New Zealand).
Australia, England and India – occupying the top-three places in the points table in that order – are part of a three-way race for top spot in the Women’s Championship, with the reigning ODI champions (Australia) still with four matches left to play.
While Australia and England have already qualified for the World Cup, South Africa – currently placed fourth in the points table – are also through, having defeated England in the opening match of their three-game home series.
In the middle of the table, there’s a tussle between Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Bangladesh and West Indies for the remaining two automatic qualification spots.
