Florida: A 2-0 win for India led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni when they go head-to-head in a two-match series in Lauderhill, Florida, USA, on August 27 and 28 will help it join number-one ranked New Zealand on 132 points but the Asian side will be ranked second when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Team Rankings.<\/p>\n
In this scenario, the West Indies will slip to fourth position with 118 points, one point behind South Africa. Meanwhile, the two-time ICC World Twenty20 champions West Indies can leapfrog second-ranked India.<\/p>\n
India is currently placed on 128 points, four points behind table leader New Zealand, while third-ranked West Indies is on 122 points.<\/p>\n
Led by new captain Carlos Brathwaite, who had smashed four consecutive sixes to wrap up this year’s ICC World Twenty20 final against England in Kolkata, the West Indies will move to second place on 127 points with a 2-0 win and push India to third place on 124 points.<\/p>\n
A 1-1 series draw will keep India ahead on 128 points with West Indies on 123 points.<\/p>\n
