Sri Lanka and Pakistan moving with big hopes in ICC Test Championship

October 16, 2011 Visionmp.com news service

DUBAI(PTI): In the ICC Test Championship Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be aiming to move upward when they go head to head in a three-Test series which starts at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

Sri Lanka is currently sitting in fifth position on 103 ratings points, while Pakistan is nine ratings points behind in sixth position.

However, all this can change depending how the series pans out. While Sri Lanka only needs to win the series to leapfrog fourth-ranked Australia, Pakistan needs to win by a 2-0 or better if it wants to move ahead of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka’s 1-0 or 2-1 series win will put it one ratings point ahead of Australia, a 2-0 win will place it on 107 ratings points, while a 3-0 win will give it a lead of four ratings points over Australia, the ICC said in a statement.

On the other hand, if Pakistan wins by a 2-0 margin it will move to 100 ratings points while relegating Sri Lanka to 97 ratings points whereas in case of a 3-0 win, Pakistan will rise to 102 ratings points just two behind Australia and Sri Lanka will drop to 96 ratings points. If Pakistan wins 1-0, it will narrow its gap with Sri Lanka to just one ratings point.

If the series ends in a draw, then Sri Lanka will drop a ratings point while Pakistan will gain a point.Meanwhile, Bangladesh also takes on West Indies in a two-Test in Chittagong from Friday. Seventh-ranked West Indies leads ninth-placed Bangladesh by 81 ratings points and as the system is weighted to reflect this difference, the West Indies’ failure to win the series comfortably will mean it will drop points.
