Australia regains number one position in ODI Championship |
Australia has regained top spot
in the ICC ODI Championship after going 6-0 up with one match to play in the ODI
series in England. Ricky Ponting's side beat the home team by 111 runs at Trent
Bridge on Thursday and in the process has moved ahead of South Africa by a fraction
of a ratings point. Australia needs to win the one remaining ODI in the series
to stay top and thus head into the ICC Champions Trophy as the number-one-ranked
one-day side in the world. An England win in the final ODI of the series would
consign Australia back down to third place. As a result of Australia's rise, India
drops to third position while England stays in seventh position, three ratings
points behind New Zealand in sixth. The ICC Champions Trophy 2009 gets underway
in South Africa on 22 September and with just a single ratings point separating
Australia in first position from India in third place, it looks like a rankings
battle is on the cards over the next couple of weeks. |
