Dubai: Sri Lankan team has a good opportunity to move ahead of India into the second place in the ICC ODI Championship table if it could win the upcoming five-match ODI series against England comprehensively.
England, however, will remain in fifth position, irrespective of the outcome of the One-day series, which starts at The Oval on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka trail second-placed India by just one rating point and would be able to take sole position of second place if it wins the series 4-1 or better.
A 3-2 series result will put it at par with India on 119 ratings points but Tillakaratne Dilshan’s side will be placed behind Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s team when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point.
A5-0 series win for English team will put it along side Sri Lanka on 112 ratings points. (PTI)
