Since the appointment of Sarfaraz Ahmed as captain of the Pakistan side in the shortest format, the green-shirts have won 12 out of 14 T20Is, which contributed the most in Pakistan’s rise towards the top of ranking.
Pakistan was only a few decimal points behind New Zealand following its white-wash against Sri Lanka.
India’s win against New Zealand saw Kiwis losing three rating points which confirmed Pakistan as number one team.
India's win today means Pakistan top the @MRFWorldwide ICC T20I Team Rankings for the first time ever! Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/0HsEfVI9qR
