As ODI Cricket will be played everywhere in the world in upcoming weeks, an interesting battle for the top spot in the ODI Team Rankings is in the offing as South Africa can displace Team India if they win the upcoming series against Bangladesh by a 3-0 margin.
However, they can only remain at the top if India are unable to win the opening match of their three-match series against New Zealand later this month.
Instead, If India win that match, they too will be on 121 points but ahead on decimal point calculation. However, India will have to go on to win the series against New Zealand 3-0 to retain the top spot as anything less will see South Africa regain the number one position should they win the series against Bangladesh 3-0.
