Another player making waves is Wanindu Hasaranga from Sri Lanka. This all-rounder showcased his skills in Rawalpindi, picking up crucial wickets and then smashing a fiery 59 runs. As a result, Hasaranga climbed an astonishing 14 places in the ODI Batting Rankings, now sitting at 116.

Hasaranga continues to dominate, maintaining his top 10 position in the ICC Men's ODI All-Rounder Rankings.
In the ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings, Jacob Duffy of New Zealand has been making headlines.
