In the T20I rankings, she is currently placed in fifth position. Meanwhile, India Women’s spinner Deepti Sharma bags the top rank in the WT20I bowling rankings with a rating of 737 and is placed at no. 5 according to the ODI rank.
Wolvaardt, with a rating of 820, stays at the top of the ODI Batting Rankings of December 2025.

Her dominant run continued in the three innings played in WODIs, where she scored 255 runs, including two centuries, at a strike rate of 111.84.
Just nine points behind her is India’s opening batter, Smriti Mandhana, who has scored 5322 runs in 117 WODIs. Recently, she has become the first Indian batter to score 4000 runs in WT20Is and is placed at no. 3 in the ICC Women’s T20I rankings with a 766 rating.
