ICC ODI Team Rankings: Pakistan Up to Fourth on 103, Full Top 10 After the Tri-Series Wins (24 October 2026)
Pakistan are fourth in the ICC ODI team rankings on 103, up from fifth on 100, after two tri-series wins. See the full top 10 and the gap to South Africa.
Pakistan are fourth in the ICC men's ODI team rankings with a rating of 103, on the International Cricket Council table dated 24 October 2026. They were fifth on 100 in the table of 10 October. Two wins in the tri-series, over Sri Lanka and England in Rawalpindi, lifted them past Australia, who are now fifth on 102.
Below is the full top ten, how much each side moved, the gap Pakistan must close to reach third, and what the last three tri-series matches can do to the table.
Pakistan are fourth in the ICC ODI team rankings on 103
The ICC ODI team table dated 24 October 2026 puts Pakistan fourth with 3,505 points from 34 matches, a rating of 103. India lead on 115, New Zealand are second on 109 and South Africa third on 104.
We read the table on the ICC website on 25 October 2026. The rating is the points total divided by the number of matches counted. For Pakistan that is 3,505 divided by 34, which is 103.1, shown rounded as 103.
| Rank | Team | Matches | Points | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | India | 36 | 4,122 | 115 |
| 2 | New Zealand | 35 | 3,809 | 109 |
| 3 | South Africa | 34 | 3,547 | 104 |
| 4 | Pakistan | 34 | 3,505 | 103 |
| 5 | Australia | 35 | 3,568 | 102 |
| 6 | Sri Lanka | 41 | 3,896 | 95 |
| 7 | Afghanistan | 31 | 2,926 | 94 |
| 8 | England | 36 | 3,331 | 93 |
| 9 | Bangladesh | 41 | 3,304 | 81 |
| 10 | West Indies | 37 | 2,924 | 79 |
Two tri-series wins added 290 points and three rating points
On 10 October Pakistan had 3,215 points from 32 matches, a rating of 100. On 24 October they have 3,505 from 34. So the two wins added 290 points, and the rating rose by about three, enough to pass Australia.
The two wins were a 37-run win over Sri Lanka on 18 October, when Salman Agha scored 107 in the opener, and an 87-run win over England on 20 October, when Arafat Minhas took six wickets.
The 10 October figures are from our earlier report of Pakistan fifth in the ODI rankings on 100, which our desk read on the ICC table that day. Australia have not played an ODI since, so their 102 has not moved. Pakistan went past them, rather than Australia dropping.
England dropped to eighth and Sri Lanka held sixth
England fell from joint sixth on 95 to eighth on 93 after losing to Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan, who played in between, moved up to seventh on 94. Sri Lanka stayed sixth on 95 after one defeat and one win.
| Team | 10 October | 24 October | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pakistan | 5th, 100 | 4th, 103 | Up one place |
| Australia | 4th, 102 | 5th, 102 | Down one place |
| Sri Lanka | Joint 6th, 95 | 6th, 95 | Rating unchanged |
| Afghanistan | 8th, 92 | 7th, 94 | Up one place |
| England | Joint 6th, 95 | 8th, 93 | Down two places |
Sri Lanka's chase of 430 against England on 22 October was the second highest in ODI history. It counted for Sri Lanka, but because it came after a loss to Pakistan, the two results roughly cancelled out in the rating. The record chase is covered in our report on Sri Lanka's 430 run chase.
Pakistan need about one rating point to pass South Africa
South Africa have 3,547 points from 34 matches, a rating of 104.3. Pakistan have 103.1 from the same number of matches. That gap is 42 points, or about 1.2 rating points, with both sides on 34 matches.
The ICC does not publish a simple "points per win" figure. The points for each result depend on the gap in ratings between the two sides, and older matches count for less. So we cannot promise that one more win puts Pakistan third. It depends on the opponent and the margin the formula gives.
What we can say from the table is the order of difficulty. Beating England, now eighth on 93, earns less than beating a higher-rated side. Losing to a lower-rated side costs more. Pakistan play three more times in the next week:
- Pakistan v England at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on Sunday 25 October.
- Pakistan v Sri Lanka in Lahore on Tuesday 27 October.
- The tri-series final in Lahore on Saturday 31 October, if Pakistan qualify.
Pakistan already lead the tri-series points table on 4 points, and the time and squads for Sunday are in our page on Pakistan vs England on 25 October.
Where Pakistan's players stand after the first two matches
On the ICC player tables dated 20 October 2026, Babar Azam is seventh among ODI batters on 684 and Salman Agha is up one place to 12th on 651. Abrar Ahmed is second among bowlers on 662, and Arafat Minhas jumped 33 places to 83rd.
The player tables update on a different date from the team table and do not yet include the 22 October match. The full list of ranked Pakistan players is in our page on the ICC ODI rankings for Pakistan players.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
We read the ICC men's ODI team rankings (rank date 24 October 2026) and the ICC men's ODI batting and bowling tables (rank date 20 October 2026) on the ICC website on 25 October 2026. The 10 October comparison comes from the ICC table our desk read on 11 October. The division into decimal ratings is our own arithmetic. We could not confirm the exact points a win against each opponent would add, because the ICC does not publish them per match.
