Dubai: Failure to level the three-game T20 series against Pakistan in Dubai, Australia will not only lose the series but they will fall behind Ireland in the world T20 rankings.
Only a slender 0.57 ratings point separates George Bailey’s men from Ireland after Australia were handed a seven-wicket thumping by Pakistan with 31 balls to spare – their heaviest loss in terms of balls remaining.
Another defeat to Pakistan will slip the aussies behind the Irish to a lowly 10th on the official ICC table – above only Zimbabwe.
Such a rating would make a mockery of the market forces in the Twenty20 game.
