Four teams are in action
for the last test of their respective series in order to gain the number 1 spot
in the ICC Test ranking. Australia already lost their 3 match test series
against Sri Lanka by losing the first two matches but they will be hard to beat
in the 3rd test as they need to win the final test to save their
current number one position. They are at number 1 in the ICC test ranking with
118 points but if they lose the third test match then surely it will be India,
Pakistan or England who claims the number one spot.
India being 2nd right now with 112 points are playing against West Indies in the third test and they also have a chance of gaining the test shield if they beat West Indies in the final test.
But it all comes down to the Pak-England final and 4th test match at The Oval and whoever wins will gain the number one spot in the ICC test ranking and that surely is a match to watch as both teams played some excellent cricket in the current test series and England are 2-1 up ahead of the final test. Australia lost two consecutive matches against Sri Lanka and because of that their position is at stake as the points between first and fourth spot have not much of a difference. Pakistan have a very good chance to snatch the number one spot despite losing Old Trafford and Edgbaston test and if they draw the series by beating England at The Oval then they have a very good chance for the test shield. The coming week will be an exciting one for the cricketing fans as their teams battles each other to gain the number one spot.
