Cricket World Ratings 26th February 2024

It's hard for visiting teams to win in India.  England won their first game on their current tour; had a chance in their second, and were on top for most of the fourth.  But with one game still to play, the home side have secured their victory.  My world ratings now look like this:

1. Australia     240 
2. India         238 +15 
3. England       196 -16
4. New Zealand   163
5. South Africa  122 
6. Pakistan       81  
   
7. Sri Lanka      -2    
8. West Indies   -20      
   
9. Bangladesh   -117            
   
10. Zimbabwe     -277     
    
11. Afghanistan  -313   
    
12. Ireland      -349

Before the series concludes, Ireland travel to Afghanistan; and Australia begin a potentially challenging two match series in New Zealand.
