South Africa dominate ICC ODI Rankings following series win vs New Zealand

South Africa has retained the top spot in the MRF Tyres ICC ODI Team Rankings after completing a 3-2 series win over New Zealand on Saturday. South Africa remained on its pre-series tally of 119 points, one point ahead of Australia. New Zealand too remained at 113 points in third position, with India fourth at 112 points. South Africa had to win Saturday’s final match of the series against New Zealand to retain the top spot. Had South Africa lost the match and the series, it would have been edged by Australia on decimal points with both teams on 118 points in such a scenario. South Africa had regained the top ranking in February after its 5-0 win over Sri Lanka even as Australia had lost 2-0 against New Zealand. Full Cricket Scorecard: New Zealand vs South Africa, 5th ODI at Auckland
