Weekly Top 5
1. Chamari Athapaththu - 234 - Sri Lanka's improbable Women's Asia Cup win was made increasingly more probable with every superstar performance from their swashbuckling captain. This is her fifth Cricketer of the Week award. Nobody has more this year.
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 170 - Had very numerically pleasing scores this week with 40, 30 and 10 runs scored in each T20 against Sri Lanka. Still not back to his best but playing regularly at least. Holds 6th place for a 6th week.
3. Shubman Gill - 143 - Last year Gill never spent a single week out of the Overall Top 5...this year he has never been higher than 6th. two decent scores between 30 and 40 sees him take third place this week and move up two places overall to 14th.
4. Steve Smith - 138 - Looking like being back to his old self...admittedly against MLC bowlers. However 88 in any T20 competition finale is not to be sniffed at.
5. Rachin Ravindra - 111 - Really showed his bowling credentials in the MLC this year and finished with another three wicket haul. He finished as the bowler with the second most wickets and had the best and third best bowling figures across the tournament.
Overall Top 5
1. Chamari Athapaththu - 3138 - The Sri Lankan captain led us out this year with her in pole position for the first 4 weeks of 2024. In the interim she drifted as low as tenth but here, in Week 31, she is back in top spot once more.
2. James Vince - 3008 - Started strongly in the hundred but two ambling scores of 19 and 20 in his next two games have cost him top spot.
3. Babar Azam - 2647 - Inactive this week and should count his lucky stars that he was not usurped this week. Might be a stay of execution though.
4. Travis Head - 2586 - After a fantastic MLC campaign and a mere 80 points between him and third place, Head might have thought he had it made in the shade. He did not.
5. Marnus Labuschagne - 2384 - Inactive this week but should be very concerned about the looming figure of Yashasvi Jaiswal should he feature in the ODIs against Sri Lanka.
Other Movers
Glenn Maxwell is another player who has taken advantage of the MLC and moves up s spot to 11th. Problem is he has been no higher than that in the last 4 months.
One To Watch
Phil Salt could launch an as-salt on the Top 5 if he produces his best in The Hundred. He has 3 games between now and the next update and 14 points between him and Harmer, 139 between him and Buttler and 213 between him and Rachin Ravindra.

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 196.13 (Up from 193.6)

3. Marnus Labuschagne - 132.44
Steve Smith's ascent gets steeper and Usman Khawaja's descent gets more precipitous. Over the last fortnight Smith has improved by almost 20 points (now 91.5) whilst Khawaja has gone down by almost 15 (now at 52.86)
