ICC Rankings: Pakistan has suffered a huge loss in the ICC rankings, now it has gone below this team too

ICC Rankings: Pakistan cricket team is currently on a tour of West Indies, but its performance has not been very good. After winning the first match of the ODI series, it had to face defeat in the second match, which has brought the series to a 1-1 draw. This defeat not only affected the series, but the Pakistani team has also suffered a big loss in the ICC ODI rankings. The situation of the team looks very fragile at the moment. However, the third and decisive match of the series is yet to be played, which will be important for both the teams.

Upheaval in ICC ODI rankings

India remains in first place with 124 rating in the ICC ODI team rankings. New Zealand is in second and Australia is in third place. Till some time ago, Pakistan was in fourth place, but after the recent defeat, it has slipped from this position to fifth place. Sri Lanka has secured the fourth position without any special performance, as Pakistan's defeat pushed it down one place.

Decline in Pakistan's rankings

Pakistan's rating has now become 102, while Sri Lanka's rating is 103. The relief for Pakistan is that sixth-placed South Africa has a rating of 96, which makes it difficult for Pakistan to slip further down. Still, the consistent poor performance has disappointed the fans of the team.

West Indies benefit

West Indies not only leveled the series by winning the second ODI, but also jumped one place in the ICC rankings. West Indies, which was earlier ranked 11th, has now reached 10th place, while Bangladesh has slipped to 11th place. The ICC has updated this ranking till 10 August 2025.

The third ODI will be decisive

The third and last ODI of the series is very important for both the teams. The result of this match will not only decide the winner of the series, but its effect will also be seen on the ranking. If Pakistan makes a comeback in this match, it can improve its position to some extent. At the same time, West Indies' victory will give it more confidence.

The Pakistani team needs to seriously consider its performance at this time. Will they be able to make a comeback in the third match? It will be interesting to see.
