Fakhar Zaman is Now Only Behind Babar Azam in Latest ODI Rankings

 Fakhar Zaman has moved up to the second position in the latest ICC ODI rankings, after scoring back-to-back centuries against New Zealand in the ongoing series.

The 33-year-old has been in sensational form, scoring 117 and an unbeaten 180 in the first and second ODI, respectively. Zaman’s consistent performances have been a huge boost for Pakistan, and the team will be hoping that he can continue his rich vein of form in the remaining matches of the series.

Imam-ul-Haq has moved from third to fifth position after scoring 60 and 24 runs in the first and second ODI respectively. Pakistan’s all-format captain, Babar Azam has retained his top spot in the rankings with a fine half-century in the second ODI.

Pakistan has been dominant in the ODI series against New Zealand, winning the first two matches and taking a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. The third match of the series will be played today in Karachi, where Pakistan will look to secure a series win. The next three matches will be crucial for both teams as they look to fine-tune their strategies ahead of the ODI World Cup later this year.
