Bangladesh rise to eighth spot​

Bangladesh have risen to eighth spot in the latest ICC one-day rankings, moving ahead of West Indies, who have sunk to their lowest position. Bangladesh's elevation comes on the back of two series wins - against New Zealand in October and Zimbabwe in December - and West Indies' 2-0 loss to Sri Lanka in the recent one-day series.

West Indies have had a terrible run in one-dayers since August 2008, the period the rankings cover - not winning a series against a Test nation in that time, and they haven't beaten a Test team in an ODI since June 2009. Their performance was also hampered by the strike action by their entire first-choice team for nearly six months starting July 2009.

At the other end of the table, Australia maintained a big lead over their nearest contenders, with their recent 6-1 thumping of England keeping them 12 points ahead of second-placed India. Only one point separates the chasing group, with India (119 points), Sri Lanka (119) and South Africa (118) tussling for second spot.

Actually, the rating points are determined as points per matches played. Therefore, Even though Zimbabwe has more points than Ireland, their points per match are lower.
