Bangladesh have joined the West Indies on 67 ratings points in the Reliance Mobile International Cricket Council ODI Championship after defeating New Zealand 4-0 in the five-match series in Mirpur on Sunday.
However, the Tigers are still placed behind the West Indian side when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point. To be precise, the West Indies have 67.06 ratings points while Bangladesh now have 66.68 ratings points.
Bangladesh had started the series on 53 ratings point and earned 13 ratings points after winning four of the five matches with one being washed out.
Bangladesh next host Zimbabwe in a five-match ODI series over December 1-15 and can potentially have a taste of number-eight position as the West Indies will play five ODIs against Sri Lanka from December 9.
In sharp contrast, New Zealand have plummeted to 96 ratings points after starting the series on 112. As a result, they have now dropped behind Pakistan into seventh position.
