After the 2-0 win in the T20I series at home against Pakistan, Australia climbed to second spot in the ICC T20I rankings, moving within a point of Pakistan who still occupy the top position.
The fortunes of the two teams in the shortest format couldn’t have been any different in 2019, with Australia going undefeated while the Men in Green have only managed a solitary win in 10 games in the calendar year.

ICC T20I Team Rankings
The ongoing five-match T20I series between New Zealand and England is currently tied with both teams winning two matches each. If England were to lose the series decider against New Zealand on Sunday, they would drop to fourth position with the Proteas claiming third sport.
India will also play in a series decider against Bangladesh on Sunday. However, a win or loss to Bangladesh on Sunday will not change India’s position in the rankings
