Quote:Muhammad Ali
LAHORE: Pakistan have a chance to improve their ranking in the ICC ODI Championship table when they face four-time world champions Australia in a five-match series starting in Brisbane on Friday (today). <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> While Australia lead second-ranked India by nine ratings points, Pakistan sit in seventh position on 108 ratings points and four behind fourth-placed New Zealand. If Pakistan win the series by 3-2 or better, <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> they will rise to as high as fourth but would stay in seventh position in case of their failure to win a single match in the series while dropping four ratings points behind sixth-placed Sri Lanka.
In case of a 3-2 series win, Mohammad Yousufââ¬â¢s side will earn four ratings points which will put them alongside New Zealand on 112 ratings points but ahead of Daniel Vettoriââ¬â¢s side by a fraction of the point. A 4-1 series win will put Pakistan on 115 ratings points [color="#FF0000"][size="7"]whereas a clean sweep will take them to 118 ratings points[/size][/color], <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> one behind third-placed South Africa. Even if Australia win the series 3-2, Pakistan will improve their rating by two places as they will leapfrog England and Sri Lanka into fifth place on 110 ratings points.
Cheers
