An undefeated run in the Trans-Tasman T20I series draws Australia level with Pakistan; Pakistan ahead on decimal points.

If India beat South Africa 3-0, they will come within one point of the leaders
Australia have joined Pakistan on 126 points in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Team Rankings after a stupendous run in the Trans-Transman tri-series but Pakistan remain the number one team, ahead on decimal points.

Although both Australia and Pakistan are on 126 points, when the points are rounded off Australia finish on 125.65 points, 0.19 points behind Pakistan who aggregate 125.84 points.

Australia defeated New Zealand in the final at Eden Park in Auckland on Wednesday after having won all their league matches in the tournament played in a double-league format with England as the third team.

On the other hand, New Zealand, who were placed second with 123 points before the tournament, have lost seven points and slipped to the fourth position with 116 points. England have lost five points to slip from the fourth to the sixth position and now have 114 points.

In other movements after T20Is played during this month, Sri Lanka have gained three points to reach 91 points after beating Bangladesh 2-0 but remain in the eighth position while Bangladesh have lost four points to slip to 72 points but are still in 10th position.

Afghanistan’s 2-0 series win over Zimbabwe has helped them gain two points to reach 88 points while Zimbabwe have lost four points and are now on 61 points. Afghanistan and Zimbabwe remain in the ninth and 12 positions, respectively.

India, who currently lead a three-match series against South Africa 1-0 and are in the third position on 122 points, could inch closer to the top two if they win both remaining matches (later Wednesday, 21 February and Friday, 23 February) but could drop to 118 points if they lose both matches.

On the other hand, South Africa could reach 115 points if they win both matches and slip to 107 points if they lose the two matches.

AUS T20 team is vulnerable on non flat tracks, it's filled with sloggers who will out bat 9/10 times any opposition on phattas. Never good to have a team so one dimensional in any format.

Next T20 World Cup is at their home so with phattas like these, this one dimensional team can serve them good.

WI won two out of three last T20 World cups with full of sloggers

So sloggers are perfect in this format
 
We need more ODI and T20 multi-nation series in place of boring tests that have two guys and their dog in the stands and guys like Azhar Ali are blocking away ball after ball. Can't wait for test cricket to die its natural death.

Even when matches were held in Pakistan, the PCB had to make tickets free or arrange school trips for kids to the ground to fill up the ground. We just don't like test cricket. I think we should excuse ourselves from it and play more LOI.

You play very few tests any way.
 
Australia seem to have found the right balance for T20 cricket finally. They were dominate in all departments in this T20 tri series.
