Pakistan regain No.1 spot in ICC ODI rankings despite defeat in Asia Cup | Bat N Ball

 As of September 18, 2023, Pakistan is the top-ranked ODI team in the ICC rankings, followed by India and Australia. This is due to Pakistan's recent strong performances, including their win in the Asia Cup 2023, and Australia's defeat against South Africa.

India and Australia will have the opportunity to reclaim the top spot when they play each other in a three-match ODI series starting on September 22. However, Pakistan has a marginal lead in the rankings, so they will remain in the top spot even if they lose their first match in the World Cup.

The World Cup is scheduled to start on October 6, and Pakistan will play their first match against the Netherlands in Hyderabad. It will be interesting to see how the top ODI teams perform in the World Cup, and who will ultimately be crowned champions.

Here is a summary of the current ODI rankings:

1. Pakistan
2. India
3. Australia
4. England
5. South Africa
6. West Indies
7. Sri Lanka
8. New Zealand
9. Bangladesh
10. Afghanistan
