Raj, who has 738 rating points to her kitty, is behind Lizelle Lee (761) of South Africa and Alyssa Healy (750) of Australia as there was no change in the top-10 batters from the previous rankings.
Beams, who played one women's Test for Australia in 2015 and 30 ODIs and 18 T20Is between 2014 and 2017, said it would be a fitting accolade for the two players.
India were dominant throughout the match, with Smriti's super hundred in the first innings putting them beyond 'hosts' reach.
The 38-year-old Raj, who scored just 87 runs at an average of 29 in the just-concluded three-match series against Australia, now has 738 points in her kitty.
Goswami returned with figures of 3/37 from her 10 overs to play a big role in India's win in the third and final ODI.
Regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time in the women's game, Jhulan began her journey in international cricket nearly two decades ago.
Jhulan also said that the Indian top and middle-order batters will come good. In the first ODI, only skipper Mithali Raj was able score something of note, making 72.
Goswami didn't give a definitive answer on vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur's batting position but indicated that a lot of options will be tried out.
Veteran Jhulan Goswami's four-wicket haul was beautifully complemented by Smriti Mandhana's sparkling 80 not out as Indian women outplayed South Africa by nine wickets in the second ODI to level the five-match series 1-1
Jhulan claimed 4 for 42 to set up India's nine-wicket win over South Africa in the second ODI, helping the side level the five-match series.
The 38-year-old veteran pacer returned with figures of 10-0-42-4 as South Africa were bundled out for 157.
Veteran pacer Jhulan (4/42) was the pick of the bowlers for India, while Rajeshwari Gayakwad returned with figures of 3 for 37.
Another veteran Mithali Raji -- with 687 points -- remained at 9th to be the second Indian batswoman in the top 10. Mandhana has 732 points.
The women's T20 challenge currently takes place in the play-off week of the IPL.
Jhulan wants to be there in New Zealand 18 months from now but says her fitness and performance in the run-up to the event will decide that.
Jhulan Goswami believes finding the right combination before any big tournament is the key and not just India, but every team is far away from that right now.
The 37-year-old Jhulan said that one important aspect that should be taken into account is the age factor."Please do remember that India had the youngest team in the World Cup in terms of average age."
Women's cricket in India gathered pace after the Indian Eves's performance in the 2017 World Cup in England but it was many years in the making.
India made it to their first-ever T20 World Cup final by virtue of finishing at the top of the points table in Group A with eight points.
Anushka Sharma and Jhulan Goswami were snapped at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata.
