England require 3-0 win to stay third in ODI standings
England will definitely fall from third place in the official One Day International standings if it loses any of its three matches against Bangladesh starting in Chittagong on Friday
ICC Media Release
04-Nov-2003
England will definitely fall from third place in the official One Day International standings if it loses any of its three matches against Bangladesh starting in Chittagong on Friday.
England is currently rated third in both the Test Match and One Day International ratings after winning both matches of the recent Test series in Bangladesh.
It must repeat this dominance in the shorter form of the game to stay ahead of a tightly packed group of pursuers as only three ratings points separate the teams from third to eighth in the table.
A 3-0 series win will lift England's rating to 108 - higher than it has ever been since the official ODI ratings were launched in October 2002.
A slip up in any of the matches, however, could see England tumble to eighth in the table.
| Team | Rating | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Australia | 134 |
| 2 | South Africa | 118 |
| 3 | England | 107 |
| 4 | Pakistan | 107 |
| 5 | West Indies | 106 |
| 6 | India | 106 |
| 7 | Sri Lanka | 105 |
| 8 | New Zealand | 104 |
| 9 | Zimbabwe | 63 |
| 10 | Kenya | 28 |
| 11 | Bangladesh | 0 |

How the ICC ODI ratings work:
The formula used by the ICC to determine points takes into account the following factors:
- results from all ODI matches played over the previous two to three years
- strength of opposition, with greater reward for beating higher ranked opponents
- greater importance is placed on more recent results, with older matches dropped every 12 months
- all matches have equal status, with no account taken of venue or margin of victory
The points awarded are then divided by the number of matches played in the valid period to produce a rating.
