Dubai: After getting shattered on the test matches held at England team India is hoping that the ODI tour doesn't go as bad as the test did. Currently the world champions, India is ranked third after Australia and Srilanka, who holds the first and second spot respectively. For attaining this task, the Indian team will have to grab the series by 4-1 or better. Currently the point table is as follows:
- Australia - 130
- Srilanka - 119
- India - 117
The recent defeat of Srilanka in the series against Australia has given only 1 point in the ODI rankings and also allows India to reclaim the position. To achieve the number two position, India will have to beat England by 4-1 or whitewash the hosts in the five-match series, starting at Chester-le-Street on September 3.
