Sri Lanka’s six wickets win in the third and last Twenty20 International against South Africa in Hambantota on Tuesday has helped it to keep its position as the number-one ranked side on the Reliance ICC T20I Rankings Table.
Sri Lanka, which lost the series 1-2, however, has dropped six ratings points and, as such, its lead over second-ranked Pakistan has now trimmed to four ratings points.
In contrast, Faf du Plessis’ side has leapfrogged England into fifth position after securing six ratings points. The Proteas are now just two ratings points behind ICC World Twenty20 2012 champion the West Indies.
Meanwhile, South Africa batsman JP Duminy has re-entered into the top 10 of the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for T20I Batsmen in the latest update that were done following the conclusion of Sri Lanka-South Africa series.
Duminy has moved up seven places and is now in 10th spot. The left-handed batsman was the highest run-getter in the series with 132 runs and was named the player of the series.
The other South Africa batsmen to move up the order include du Plessis in 25th (up by 17 places) and David Miller in 56th (by 21).
