India will have to win the remaining matches
Last month, Pakistan had a clean sweep against the West Indies and Australia were defeated by Sri Lanka. Due to this, Pakistan had reached number three. But now India has snatched this place from him within a few days. Now if India wins both the remaining matches or even one match, then this position will become stronger. On the other hand, if the Indian team loses in the remaining two matches of the series, then Pakistan will again reach the third place.
It is worth noting that after England, India has to play a three-match ODI series against the West Indies under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan. After this the team will play the Asia Cup in T20 format and then the Australian team will visit India. After this, the T20 World Cup will be held in Australia in October-November. Then the team has to tour New Zealand and Bangladesh. Team India will play continuously this year and the upcoming tour of West Indies and Zimbabwe can see further improvement in the team’s ranking.
