The cancellation of Team India's third ODI with
West Indies at Visakhapatnam due to cyclone
Hudhud has caused the hosts a chance to
regain top spot in the ICC ODI rankings.
In the recently released ODI rankings by ICC
on Monday, Australia grabbed the numero uno
position.
"Australia has surged to the top of the
Reliance ICC One-Day International (ODI) Team
Rankings after completing a 3-0 series victory
over Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE)," the ICC said in a statement.
Dramatic one-run victory in Abu Dhabi on
Sunday and the cancellation of the third ODI
between India and the West has ensured top
billing for George Bailey's side as the race to
the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 heats up
among some of the top-ranked sides.
The cancellation of tomorrow's ODI between
India and the West Indies in Visakhapatnam
means India cannot leapfrog Australia even if
they win the remaining two matches in
Dharamshala and Kolkata on October 17 and
20 respectively.
In that, scenario, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side
will fall 0.02 ratings points short of Australia,
which is now sitting on 114 ratings points.
It has taken Australia five ODIs to regain the
number-one ranking after they had dropped
from the top pedestal in Harare on August 31
following a three wickets defeat against
Zimbabwe.
Australia have won four of the last five ODIs
with its only loss coming against South Africa
in the triangular series final in Harare on 6
September.
In the ICC Players Rankings for ODI Bowlers,
Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has
moved up two places to fifth following figures
of three for 24 runs and three for 40 in the
opening two ODI's.
Pakistan's Mohammad Irfan has vaulted five
places to 27th position after claiming three
wickets in the series, while Shahid Afridi has
also climbed six places after a consistent
display and the leg-spinner is level with
Australia's Xavier Doherty ? who drops two
places - in 35th position.
In the batting Rankings, Australia's hard-hitting
opener David Warner has risen three places to
40th after scores of 43, 29 and 56.
