India And Pakistan Fight For Third Spot In ODI Rankings

Many teams have lately made significant gains in the ICC Men’s ODI Rankings. While Pakistan had moved up to third place last month after defeating the West Indies by a score of 3-0, England’s victory over the Netherlands left them in a commanding position.

Prior to playing West Indies in a three-match series, India will play two more one-day internationals against England. Because Pakistan is also set to play a series against the Netherlands next month, the Men in Blue stand a solid opportunity of continuing their winning streak as well as maintaining their ranking.
