In the most recent ICC ODI men’s Team rankings, which were released on Thursday, India fell to third place behind Pakistan and is now three points behind Australia, the top-ranked team in the world.
Australia, a five-time world champion, increased their rating after the yearly update from 113 to 118, keeping a slim lead over Pakistan (116 points) and India (115 points). “Prior to the annual rankings update, Australia were at the top with 113 points with India trailing them on decimal count,” reads an ICC press statement.

After winning the fourth ODI against New Zealand this month, Pakistan, who was placed third with 112 points, momentarily topped the lists. If Pakistan had been able to defeat New Zealand 5-0, they could have been able to hold onto first place.
The top three teams are currently only three rating points apart, indicating an exciting race for first place in the World Cup year.
The 2-1 series defeat India suffered at home to Australia this year has had a significant negative impact.
New Zealand, one of the other teams, is ranked fourth with 104 points, followed by England, who is ranked fifth with 101 points after experiencing a “massive 10-point drop in their rating.”
South Africa was ranked sixth, Bangladesh was ranked seventh, and Afghanistan moved up significantly to take the eighth position, passing Sri Lanka (ninth) and the West Indies (tenth).
