KARACHI:
Pakistan team slipped to fourth from second spot in International Cricket Council (ICC) Twenty20 International (T20I) ranking after back to the back losses in T20 series which concluded in Dubai on Friday.
South Africa won the opener on Wednesday by nine wickets and then made it two out of two by winning the second match by six runs to take the series 2-0.
Pakistan, who had entered the series in second position and had an opportunity to top the rankings, dropped behind Sri Lanka (128 ratings points), India and South Africa (both 123 ratings points) in fourth position on 120 ratings points - ahead of the West Indies by a fraction of a point, according to the rankings released by ICC on Saturday.
The series win boosted South Africa's rating by five points. The increase sees them join India on 123 ratings points but will be ranked below Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side by difference of one-hundredth of a decimal point.
