Can New Zealand become No. 1 in ICC T20 Rankings? Answer is unfortunately not.
- New Zealand will not make it to the top of the ICC T20I rankings even if they beat Australia in the Final.
- Kiwis are currently at No. 4 in ICC Rankings & victory over Austalia in Finals won’t be enough for them to even overtake India (2) or Pakistan (3), leave alone England who sits at top.
- But the margin between four will reduce considerably. NZ can achieve no. 1 ranking by beating India in India by 3-0 margin.
