Updated - 07 Dec 2018, 07:59 PM
New Zealand have consolidated their fourth position in the MRF Tyres ICC Test Team Rankings following the conclusion of their three-Test series in the UAE, which their series win by 2-1.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Pakistan have slipped to the seventh spot following their poor run. The host had entered in sixth place on 95 points, and have now dropped to the seventh position on 92 points, one behind Sri Lanka.
New Zealand, however, began on 102 points, ahead of Australia by a fraction of a point, and have now moved to 105 points to consolidate their fourth position. New Zealand now trail third-ranked South Africa by one point.
The MRF Tyres ICC Test Team Rankings will next come out after the conclusion of the two-Test series between New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
If New Zealand wins 2-0, they will move to 109 points in the second position, and Sri Lanka will drop to the seventh position on 90 points.
However, if the series result is reversed and Sri Lanka win 2-0, then they will rise to 97 points while retaining sixth place and New Zealand will fall behind Australia in the fifth position on 99 points.
Wellington is the venue of the first Test from 15-19 December, while the second and final Test will be played in Christchurch from 26-30 December.
