Windies slump to ninth in ODIs

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CMC) — West Indies will enter this year’s World Cup ranked ninth in One-day Internationals.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced yesterday that West Indies have fallen fractionally behind Bangladesh in its latest ODI Rankings.

West Indies fell behind the Bangladeshis, following Sri Lanka’s 2-0 series win over Darren Sammy’s side in a three-match series, which finished on Sunday in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo.

The two sides are locked on 66 ratings points, but West Indies fall behind after the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point.

The two defeats against Kumar Sangakkara’s side condemned West Indies to their seventh defeat in their last eight ODIs.

Since the previous World Cup staged in the Caribbean, West Indies have endured an atrocious record in ODIs.

They have won only 20 out of 71 matches, hardly evidence to enhance their place in the rankings, and inspire confidence in them ahead of the World Cup.

West Indies open the World Cup on Thursday, February 24, against South Africa at New Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium.
