The Australian team is in danger of overtaking the New Zealand team as the top team in the ODI format after losing the first match played in Hyderabad. The New Zealand team had entered the tour of India as the top team in the format. In reality, with 115 ratings after losing the first ODI versus India by 12 runs, New Zealand is currently ranked top; however, if Rohit Sharma and company defeat them in Raipur today as well, the Kiwis would drop to second. England will gain from this setback, and England will be named the best ODI team.
If India wins the second match then it will come in the top 3
Team India is presently positioned fourth in the ICC ODI rankings with 111 ratings; if Rohit Sharma’s team wins the second ODI, it will rise one spot to third. India will receive two rating points for this victory. However, as a result of this loss, New Zealand will drop to second place with 113 points.
India will become number 1 if they win the series 3-0
India must play New Zealand in the third one-day international at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on January 24. If India wins and sweeps the visitors, it would reclaim the top spot in ODI cricket. India would receive 114 ratings and Team India will move into the lead with the victory over New Zealand in Indore. At the same time, New Zealand will drop to fourth place with 111 ratings after losing the series 0-3. In such a scenario, Australia would come in third, followed by England.
New Zealand will remain number 1 by winning even one match
The New Zealand squad will continue to hold the top spot if it is able to win at least one game out of the next two games in the series. India would climb up to third place if it wins this series 2-1. On the other hand, if India finishes fourth with 109 ratings and New Zealand wins the series, India will drop to first with 118 ratings.
