Trent Boult has taken top spot on the ICC's one-day bowling rankings.
The Black Caps seamer has been elevated to the No 1 position despite having only played one ODI in the past six months.
Boult took 3-43 against Sri Lanka in the fifth ODI win at Mount Maunganui. A year ago the left-armer was ranked 78th in the world.
He is the second New Zealander to hit No 1 this summer after Kane Williamson briefly held the top test batting spot.
Matt Henry is seventh in the latest bowling rankings, ahead of fellow paceman Mitchell McClenaghan in 11th.
