Fargana, who scored 102 in the second match in Potchefstroom, has moved up two spots to a career-high 13th position.

Kapp has moved up one spot to eighth after returning identical figures of two for 21 in the series' second and third matches, which counted towards the most recent weekly rankings update.

Laura Wolvaardt stole the show in both games, scoring a half-century in the second ODI and a fifty in the final against Bangladesh.
