Pakistan extend lead by six points at top of ICC T20 Rankings

Pakistan regained lost ground in the T20 rankings as they returned to 131 points at the top of the table with a six-point cushion.

Pakistan had earlier slipped to 129 points – still number one – after a crushing nine-wicket defeat to Australia in the T20 tri-series in Zimbabwe. The Aussies, meanwhile had risen to second position following two big wins and were just three points behind Sarfraz Ahmed‘s team.

However, following Pakistan’s 45-run win against Australia on Thursday and the Aussies’ scratchy win over hosts Zimbabwe on Friday, Pakistan are back in a comfortable position as the No1 T20 team in the world.

India have won one and lost one T20 in England and are now placed second on 125, six points behind Pakistan. Australia are down to third on 124 points.
