Tonga has risen place to 8th in the world netball rankings.
That's based on only 15 games the Tala have played this year, while other teams in the top ten have played up to 71 times.
Also in the rankings, the Fiji Pearls drop two places - from 15th place to 17th.
This is after the Pearls lost to Botswana twice in the Nations Cup in Singapore earlier this month.
The Cook Islands are 16th, Samoa 18th, and Papua New Guinea 36th.
