ICC ODI Rankings: After losing by an 8-wicket margin in the second of a three-match ODI series against India on January 21 in Raipur, New Zealand dropped from No. 1 in the ICC ODI rankings. England, the world champions, overtook New Zealand, which had held the top ranking going into the ODI series.
New Zealand loses its top spot
The last ODI, which will be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Tuesday, presents India under Rohit Sharma with a chance to go up to the top place. With 113 rating points apiece, England, New Zealand, and India are tied. New Zealand held the top spot with 115 rating points prior to this match. According to the ICC, India was in fourth place with 111 rating points, Australia was third with 112 rating points, and England was in second place with 113 rating points.
Now, New Zealand is in second place with 113 rating points and 3166 total points after losing to India by eight wickets. With 113 rating points each, England and India are in first and third place, respectively.
India to reign at top across formats?
India now ranks first in T20 Internationals and second in Tests, giving them the chance to top all three formats. With 126 points, Australia is top in the Tests standings, 11 points ahead of India. Beginning on February 9 in India, the two teams will compete in a highly anticipated 4-test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
India has been in complete control of the ODI series thus far, taking the opening match in Hyderabad in a nail-biting battle. India scored 349 for 8 thanks to Shubman Gill’s double hundred. At 131 for 6, New Zealand was in trouble, but Michael Bracewell’s breathtaking 140 helped them go very close to the finish line. However, by just 12 runs, the visitors were defeated.
