Hayley Matthews' seventh ODI century has propelled the West Indies opener back into the top 10 of the ICC Women's Batting Rankings.

A score of 106 from 109 balls lifted the opener into a share of seventh in the Tuesday update to close out the calendar year, with a rating of 652 to sit alongside Australia left-hander Beth Mooney.

While making a half-century in the same match, a score of four in the third ODI has meant a one-spot drop to third in the rankings (720 rating points), falling below Chamari Athapaththu (733).

Outside the top 10, performers with the bat in Vadodara saw rankings jumps, with Jemimah Rodrigues closing in on a top 20 position (22nd) with a four spot jump thanks to scores of 29 and 52. Richa Ghosh (13 not out and 23 not out) moved seven spots to 41st (448 rating points), with Chinelle Henry's half-century in the third ODI leading to a 21-spot leap to 65th (349 rating points).
