Colombo: Pakistan’s balanced performance with both bat and ball secured a convincing victory over Afghanistan to reclaim the No.1 spot in the ODI rankings.
Pakistan last surged to the No.1 spot on 5 May 2023 after earning a 4-0 lead in the five-match series against New Zealand at home.
Babar Azam’s leadership, Mohammad Rizwan’s consistency, and the combined efforts of the bowling unit played pivotal roles in Pakistan’s triumph. Afghanistan fought valiantly towards the end of the match but fell short of the target, facing the heat of Pakistan’s well-rounded performance.
