Following the
memorable series win over South Africa, India established its position at the
highest point of the ICC One-Day International (ODI) rankings. In the most
recent rankings, Afghanistan additionally rose to tenth spot. India defeated
South Africa by 73 in fifth ODI yesterday in Port Elizabeth for a 4-1 lead in
the 6 match series, uniting their position at the highest point of the table.
South Africa wins the 6th and last ODI on Friday in Centurion, India will
remain No.1 on 121 points, while South Africa will end on 119 points, the ICC
said in an announcement.
On the other hand
Afghanistan have moved ahead of Zimbabwe in tenth spot after winning the third
ODI in Sharjah on Tuesday. To hold this place, Afghanistan should win series,
which comes full circle on February 19. India had entered 6 match series in the
second position on 119 points, two points behind leaders of South Africa. After
taking a 4-1 lead, India have moved to 122 points, while South Africa have
dropped to 118 points. In the event that India win series 5-1, they will
complete on 123 points, while South Africa will end on 117 points. Tuesday's
outcome has given extra setting to the up and coming 5 series ODI matches
between New Zealand and England. Independent of the result of Friday's match
between South Africa and India, if England win all the five matches against New
Zealand, Eoin Morgan's side will guarantee the second position, with South
Africa slipping to third. This is the first run through since October 2017 and
fifth by and large that India have completed over the ODI rankings following the
conclusion of series in rising to No.1 in January 2013.
