The win gave them three ratings points to replace India and lag behind Australia by 10 points. India are one point adrift of Sri Lanka and have a chance to regain their position if they win all five ODIs against New Zealand.
Sri Lanka won the series opener and then took a 2-0 lead by winning the Sydney ODI, after which Australia claimed a consolation win in Brisbane. Meanwhile, South Africa and Pakistan have retained their positions after the Proteas won the recently-concluded series 3-2. South Africa are on 115 points against Pakistan’s 100.
