Feb. 11 (CRICKETNMORE) - South Africa becomes Number one team in latest ICC ODI Team Rankings after sweeping aside Sri Lanka 5-0 at Centurion on Friday.
Before home series against Sri Lanka, South Africa were trailing number-one ranked Australia by four points. However, Australia’s 0-2 defeat against New Zealand and South Africa’s own 5-0 win over Sri Lanka means South Africa has now moved ahead of the world champions.
A delighted South Africa captain AB de Villiers said: ““We are excited to be back at the top of the ICC ODI Team Rankings. We have had some trials since the World Cup two years ago but have worked hard to rebuild and to gain some form and consistency in this format.
