Among bowlers, Hasan Ali’s haul of five for 34 in the third ODI
against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi, which his team won by seven wickets for a
decisive 3-0 lead in the five-match series, has given the pace bowler a big
boost in ranking points.
The
23-year-old, who has taken nine wickets in the series so far, has moved up six
places to become the fifth bowler at the top of the ODI rankings this year
after Trent Boult, Imran Tahir, Kagiso Rabada and Josh Hazlewood.
Outside of
the top 20, Sri Lanka’s Suranga Lakmal (up three places to 36th), South Africa’s Andile Phehlukwayo (up 30 places to 52nd) and Bangladesh’s Rubel Hossain (up seven places to 61st) are the other bowlers to move northwards.
Pakistan’s
Mohammad Hafeez is back as the top all-rounder, edging Bangladesh’s Shakib Al
Hasan. Hafeez, who first attained top ranking in January 2013, has reached the
top spot for the ninth time.
Meanwhile,
India will be looking to wrest back the top spot in the team rankings when they
take on New Zealand in an upcoming three-match series.
South Africa
and India are both on 120 points with South Africa ahead on decimal points.
South Africa can reach 121 points if they complete a 3-0 series win over
Bangladesh but India will overtake them if they win the opening match against
New Zealand, to be played the same day as the last South Africa-Bangladesh
match, on 22 October.
