This update is little surprise for the Asian side, who have dominated the format over the last two years. They have claimed the Men’s T20 World Cups in 2024 and 2026, and have been undefeated in all the T20I series between these two events.
The top seven positions in the Men’s Rankings are unchanged with New Zealand (247 points), South Africa (244 points), Pakistan (240) and West Indies (233) following up.
Beyond that, a drop in six rating points for Sri Lanka sees them slip downwards to the ninth spot, while Bangladesh (225 points) who gained one point in the update are up at eighth. Afghanistan are merely one point away from Sri Lanka at 10th with 220 points, while Zimbabwe and Ireland also retain their ranks at 11th and 12th.
