Latest ICC T20I Team (India Is On Top), Player Rankings

ICC T20I Rankings ahead of T20I series between South Africa and West Indies: At present, India’s men’s T20I team sits at the top of the list with 267 rating points, followed closely by Australia and England, respectively. Despite recent poor performances, the West Indies still managed to hold on to their 4th position. They are only preceded by South Africa, who are positioned fifth with 251 points. For both teams looking up the ladder, this series is quite important.

For many South African players, the memory of the World Cup final played on June 29, 2024, remains fresh when they were in a commanding position—the need was 26 runs from 24 balls with six wickets in hand. It was an absolute belter of a comeback by fast bowlers of India, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, as South Africa fell just 7 runs short, thereby extending their long wait for a major ICC trophy.

Currently South Africa is on West Indies tour for 3 T20I series. Caribbean team beat Proteas in the first T20I by 7 wickets.
