India retain top spot in Men's ODI team rankings after annual update

India have maintained their position at the top of the ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings following the annual update carried out on Tuesday, but their lead over New Zealand has reduced from eight to five points.

India have slipped from 119 to 118 points even as New Zealand have gained two points to move up to 113, with reigning World Cup champions Australia third with an unchanged 109 points.

The only change in the top 10 positions is that South Africa (102) have overtaken Pakistan (98) to fourth position. However, there is a notable change in the gap between ninth-placed Bangladesh and the West Indies, which has increased to 10 points.

In other changes, Ireland have leapfrogged Zimbabwe to 11th position, the USA have moved above Scotland to 13th position, and the United Arab Emirates are now ahead of Canada in 19th position.

India are also top ranked in the ICC Men’s T20I Rankings after the annual updates carried out last week while Australia are at the top of the Test rankings. Australia are No. 1 in both the Women’s ODI and T20I lists.
