The Dhaka Times Desk Bangladesh cricket team has climbed above Pakistan in ODI rankings. Bangladesh has overtaken Pakistan in the ICC ODI rankings.
This time, Bangladesh has overtaken Pakistan in the ICC ODI rankings. After whitewashing Pakistan in the ODI series, Bangladesh has now climbed to the 8th position in the ranking.
It is known that Bangladesh is now ranked 8th with 88 points. However, West Indies are at number 7 with the same equal points. Pakistan is in the worst position in the history with less than 1 point. Azhar Ali's Pakistan team's position is now at number 9.
It is believed that the possibility of playing in the next 2017 Champions Trophy has become brighter for the Bangladesh team due to Bangladesh moving forward in the ranking. Bangladesh cricket team will be able to play in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy to be held in England if it remains at the top of the ranking by September 30 of this year.
Bangladesh also has several opportunities for further improvement in the ranking. For example, West Indies, who are above Bangladesh with equal 88 points, have no ODI game until next September. On the other hand, Bangladesh will play a 3-match ODI series against India in June. If Bangladesh can do well there, then it can come one more step in the ranking i.e. 7th. Bangladesh team has a chance to play a 3-match ODI series against the powerful South Africa next month as well. All in all, there are two good opportunities for the Bangladesh team.
