Pakistan Eye Top Spot in ICC Rankings 3rd T20 PakistanVNew Zealand.

From being throughout the tour to eyeing a series victory over the number one ranked side in T20 Pakistan have definitely lived up to the expectation of their unpredictability in the shortest format. With T20 series levelled at 1-1 this is the best possible chance for Captain Sarfraz men to make up for their miserable performance in the One Day Internationals.
Pakistan currently sit in 2nd place in the T20I rankings with 124 points, 1 point short of the top seeded New Zealand team. With tomorrow's win, Pakistan can dethrone kiwis from the pole position.
