India achieved a significant win against Australia, winning by five wickets at the Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium. This victory also propelled India to the coveted No. 1 ranking in One Day International (ODI) cricket, surpassing its rival, Pakistan.
India now holds the top position in the ODI rankings with a rating of 116 points, while Pakistan is just behind with 115 rating points. Although Australia remains in third place, the gap between the top two teams has widened, as Australia’s rating dropped by two points to 111.
This victory sets India in a strong position for the upcoming ODI World Cup, where they could enter the tournament as the No. 1 team in the ODI format. However, it’s important to note that Pakistan still has a chance to regain the top spot if Australia wins the remaining two matches in the series.
