India's Sachin Tendulkar has leapt back to the top of the world one-day batting ratings after his fine form at the World Cup.

Tendulkar, with a tournament record of 571 runs at an average of 71.37 already and three games still to play, displaced Australia opener Matthew Hayden, who slipped to third.

New Zealand strike bowler Shane Bond moved up 31 places to 11th in the PricewaterhouseCoopers bowling rankings after his career-best six for 23 against Australia at Port Elizabeth on Tuesday.

New Zealand play India at Centurion on Friday, hoping to join them as well as Australia and Kenya in the World Cup semi-finals.

Kenya's medium-pacer Martin Suji, one of the most economical bowlers of the tournament, jumped 16 places to 13th, by far the best rating ever achieved by a player from a non-Test playing country.

Kenya reached the last four of the World Cup by beating Test nation Zimbabwe on Wednesday.
