India can grab top spot on ICC’s T20I rankings – Cricket News Update
India will have a chance to climb to the top of the ICC T20 Teams’ Rankings table when they take on England and Pakistan in a short T20 series late this month.

India are currently ranked third on the ICC’s T20 team rankings table. However, a victory in all of the upcoming four matches, starting in Pune today, will not only propel them to the top of the table, ahead of Sri Lanka, but will also give them a five point lead over the current table http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-Donald-Topley-c93395.

If MS Dhoni led Indian contingent manages to do so, this will be the first time they will make it to the No 1 spot on the T20I championship table since it was launched in October 2011.
However, if the 2007 World T20 champions lose at least one of the four games, the best they can hope at the end of 2012 is to leapfrog the incumbent T20 champs, West Indies, and take the second spot. Losing all four matches against England and Pakistan would see India dropping to as low as seventh spot with 106 rating points.
While England (currently 4th on the table) and Pakistan (6th on the table) could hope to move a place up if they manage to defeat the Indians.
