Dubai, June 16 (IANS) A 3-0 victory over home side Bangladesh in the upcoming One-Day International (ODI) series will not be enough for second-placed Mahendra Singh Dhoni's¿s India to reclaim the top spot in ICC rankings, but a series win for the hosts will boost their qualifying chances in the 2017 Champions Trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dhoni's side can reduce leader Australia's advantage to 10 points should it sweep the series three-nil. In this scenario, Bangladesh will slip to ninth position on 96 points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
If India wins the series 2-1, it will remain on 117 points, while a 2-1 loss will mean it will join New Zealand on 115 points but will still be ranked above Brendon McCullum's side, which is currently in the middle of a highly entertaining series with England and holds a 2-1 lead after the first three games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Host England, plus the seven next highest-ranked sides on the Reliance ODI Rankings as on September 30, will progress to the tournament, which will be staged from June 1-19 in England and Wales.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh is currently level with the West Indies on 88 points but is ranked below the West Indies in eighth position, while Pakistan is one point behind in ninth spot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
If Bangladesh wins the series 3-0, then it will move to 96 points while a 2-1 win will see the host rise to 93 points. Even if Bangladesh loses the series 2-1, it will be enough to put it ahead of the West Indies in seventh place by a fraction of a point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli enters the ODI series as the highest-ranked batsman on either side in fourth place. The Delhi-born right-hander is one of the three India batsmen inside the top 10 alongside Shikhar Dhawan (seventh) and Dhoni (ninth).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the ICC ODI bowler's rankings, Bangladesh's Shakib-Al Hasan, who hit the 150-cap mark last time out against Pakistan, has seventh-ranked Saeed Ajmal in his sights. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
The left-arm spinner will also be aiming to hit the 200-wicket mark during the series as he currently stands on 195. In eighth place, he is the highest-ranked bowler heading into the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, India has four bowlers inside the top 20, with Ravichandran Ashwin (12th) leading the way. Five points then separate Umesh Yadav (16th), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (17th) and Ravindra Jadeja (18th)<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2015\/06\/team-india32.jpg", "alt_img": "Team India", "alt_title": "Team India", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "3-0 win over Bangladesh won't fetch India top ODI spot", "seo_desc": " A 3-0 victory over home side Bangladesh in the upcoming One-Day International (ODI) series will not be enough for second", "seo_keywords": "India vs Bangladesh ODI Series, India ODI Ranking", "tag": "", "tagging": "", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "0", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "3-0-win-over-bangladesh-won-t-fetch-india-top-odi-spot", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "1396", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "0", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2015-06-17 08:02:00", "updated": "2015-06-17 08:02:00", "img_from": "", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": null, "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2015-06-17 08:02:00", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2015-06-17 08:02:00", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/3-0-win-over-bangladesh-won-t-fetch-india-top-odi-spot-10652" }
