[aklemalp]

^^ when was the last update on the rankings on the site?

[Zeeshan]

Bangladesh have broken new grounds in their one-day journey by clinching their highest ever ODI ranking of sixth in the win against New Zealand in the tri-nation series.

The Tigers chased down New Zealand’s 270 with five wickets and 10 balls to spare in Dublin on Wednesday to earn the No. 6 position in the ICC ranking.

The ranking will be made official in ICC’s next update which is done after every series.

Hope SL and Pak lose their matches in the CT and we win at least one. Gotta widen the gap between us as much as possible lol.

[Faisal]

SL will lose all 3, but not sure about Pak team, lol

shukur Alhamdulillah !
Joy tigers.

^^looks like they have a decimal problem.
Bangladesh are ahead in terms of rating points.

Someone posted the numbers in another thread.
Bangladesh are 0.0055 something ahead in rating points.

This ICC page, they rounded the numbers..so it look like they are tied.

[Mridul]

from now till end of September based on FTP and current news:

West Indies is going to play 14 ODIs. (3 vs. Afg; 1 vs. Ire; 5 vs. Eng & 5 vs. Ind)
Bangladesh 3 ODIs or more in CT (Eng, SA, NZ)
Pakistan 3 ODIs or more in CT (Ind, SA, SL)
Sri Lanka 11 ODIs or more (3 ODIs or more in CT and 5 ODIs vs. Ind & 3 ODIs vs. Zim)

In the worst case scenario
if WI wins all 14 games
Pakistan reaches Semi Final of CT
Sri Lanka wins one or two matches in CT and beats Zimbabwe and wins series against India

I think Bangladesh will need to play qualifier then.

However, with the current WI squad, they wont be able to win series against Eng and Ind let alone whitewashing them. However, if the best players return for WI, they may win series against England and India. Mathematically there is still possibility of Bangladesh playing World Cup qualifier but West Indies has to come out as stronger team like England came back after 2015 world cup.

So this thread is a celebratory one that starts the celebration before the fact.

[Fazal]

With same point we are jointly #6. Aushubidha ki, Sri Lankar shatey bhaga bhagi korey thakbo.

[kalpurush]

^^^ we are real #6!

[aklemalp]

They should let that be known then. Joint sixth and enough of this 6th and 7th on the same rating points.

[nsuRocks]

we are ahead by 0.43 decimal points. There's no scope for sharing. Something seriously fishy is being done

[Fazal]

... well now we will have more motivation winning few more games to make it #6 our own for good.

[nsuRocks]

Its been fixed. We are now at number 6 in ICC official website.

England has 111 points at 5th spot. Will need to win the CT and then some to get there

[Tigers_eye]

Back to #7.

[Vepu]

Srilanka lost so we should be at 6

SL lost to a higher rank team, thus didn't lose much. We lost to #5. It was a fraction lead to begin with. May be if they lose to Pak they will go down again.
