This is Pakistan’s second time at the top of the ODI rankings this year. They first reached the top after winning their first four matches against New Zealand in a five-match series in May. However, they lost the fifth and final match to New Zealand, which allowed Australia to reclaim the top spot.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pakistan will now take part in the 2023 Asia Cup, and their first match in that six-team tournament comes against Nepal in Multan on August 30.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
