The two are followed by the West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, England and Australia.\n<\/p>\n<p>A shuffling of the pack is on the cards as a lot of cricket in the shortest format of the game is still to be played before the 1 April cut-off date. While the main round of the Asia Cup T20 will be played from 24 February to 6 March in Mirpur, the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 will be staged from 8 March to 3 April.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Australia has regained the prestigious ICC Test Mace and has also won a cash award of $1million after winning the Christchurch Test by seven wickets, which has given it a 2-0 series win against New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>The result means Australia has finished two points ahead of India on 112 points in the final series before the 1 April cut-off date. Steve Smith will receive the Mace and the cash award on behalf of his team in a ceremony to be held at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>This is the eighth time Australia has finished as the number-one ranked Test side at the annual cut-off date since the inception of the current rankings system in 2003. It had earlier topped the table each year from 2003 to 2009, before India claimed number-one spots in 2010 and 2011. England ended as the number-one ranked side in 2012 before South Africa completed a hat-trick by retaining the top spot from 2013 to 2015.<\/p>\n<p>India, by virtue of finishing second, will collect $500K, while South Africa will pocket $200K and Pakistan $100K after claiming third and fourth positions, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>It is a double delight for Smith&rsquo;s men who had earlier topped the MRF Tyres ICC ODI Team Rankings at the annual cut-off date. It had finished comfortably ahead of second-placed New Zealand, followed by India, South Africa, Sri Lanka and England.<\/p>\n<p>ICC T20I Rankings (as of 24 February, after the Asia Cup qualifying matches)<\/p>\n<p>RANK TEAM POINTS<\/p>\n<p>1 India 122<\/p>\n<p>2 South Africa 119<\/p>\n<p>3 West Indies 118<\/p>\n<p>4 New Zealand 116<\/p>\n<p>5 Sri Lanka 116<\/p>\n<p>6 Pakistan 113<\/p>\n<p>7 England 112<\/p>\n<p>8 Australia 110<\/p>\n<p>9 Afghanistan 77<\/p>\n<p>10 Scotland 69<\/p>\n<p>11 Bangladesh 64<\/p>\n<p>12 Netherlands 59<\/p>\n<p>13 Zimbabwe 54<\/p>\n<p>14 Hong Kong 49<\/p>\n<p>15 Ireland 48<\/p>\n<p>16 UAE 42<\/p>\n<p>17 Oman 32<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-15461\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dhonileads1.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"160\" alt=\"dhonileads1\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dhonileads1.jpg 260w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dhonileads1-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>Dubai:<\/strong>&nbsp;Mahendra Singh Dhoni led Indian team lead the field with South Africa occupying second position following its 2-0 win over England in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Team Rankings.
