Pakistan concedes fourth place to New Zealand in the ICC World Cup Super League Table

The third One Day International played between Ireland and New Zealand on Friday was another humdinger of a clash. The Irish were once again unable to cross the line by the barest of margins. 

On the other hand, the Kiwis have managed to maintain their winning streak in the ICC ODI World Cup Super League Table with their victory.   

The fixture was a complete run-fest as a total of 719 runs were scored on a batting-friendly wicket in Malahide. 

How the points table looks like after the third NZ vs IRE ODI

The latest update on the points table shows that England are leading the standings with 125 points after their 3-0 win over the Netherlands in the three-match ODI series. Bangladesh and Afghanistan are placed second and third with 120 and 100 points respectively. 

At the time of writing, England and Bangladesh are slated to play the third and final matches of their respective series against India and the West Indies, which will play a crucial role in determining both teams’ final spot on the points table. 

Pakistan, on the other hand, has lost fourth place to New Zealand, but both teams have 90 points, while the West Indies, India, and Australia are sixth, seventh, and eighth on the table, respectively.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) recently backed out of the three-match ODI series against Australia, agreeing to forfeit the series, reducing South Africa’s chances of direct qualification for the 50-over World Cup.

The top eight teams will qualify directly for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, while the remaining teams will compete in a qualifier alongside five associate teams.
