Dubai :World champion India has managed to retain its number one spot in the Reliance ICC ODI Team Rankings after the last two 50-over games in the seven-match home series against Australia were washed-out.
Australia lead the series 2-1 with the final two matches to be played in Nagpur and Bengaluru on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively.
Australia needed to win the series 6-1 or better to dislodge India from the top and reclaim the number one spot, which it last held in July 2012.
If Australia manages to win the final two ODIs, it will rise to 119 ratings points while India will finish on 120 ratings points.
In sharp contrast, if India wins both matches, it will finish on 123 ratings points while Australia will slide to 114 ratings points only three ahead of second placed England and third ranked Sri Lanka, according to an ICC statement.
