Bangladesh's Nahida Akhter has entered the top ten bowlers in the ICC ODI rankings. This is the best position among Bangladeshi bowlers in the women's ODI rankings. The previous highest position was 12th, which was also Nahida's record.

Bangladesh did not do very well with the bat in the Australia series at home. However, Nahida was brilliant in both matches with the ball. In the first match, Nahida took 2 wickets at the cost of only 27 runs in 10 overs with great bowling. Despite not getting a wicket in the second match, the trend of bowling in the keep continued. She gave only 19 runs in 8 overs.

In the latest ranking published by ICC, Nahida has improved by 4 places and is at the 10th place. Besides, Sultana Khatun is 6 steps ahead at 52nd place.

For the first time in women's cricket, a bowler from Bangladesh got a place in the top ten rankings.
