Before yesterday’s game Kenya played total 6 ODI- 2 of them in September-2004 and 4 of them in March-2006. So, the number of matches weighs down to 5 (2/3 of 2 + 4). So Kenya’s standing before yesterday’s match was Match-5, Point-187, and Rating-37. On the other Hand Bangladesh’s standing was Match-26, Point-437, and Rating-17.
After yesterday’s match, the current standing is:
Kenya: Match-6, Point-154, and Rating-26
Bangladesh: Match-27, Point-524, and Rating-19
If Bangladesh Wins First 3 Games and lose the 4th one, the standing would be:
Kenya: Match-9, Point-167, and Rating-19
Bangladesh: Match-30, Point-630, and Rating-21
If Bangladesh wins the series 4-0, the standing would be:
Kenya: Match-9, Point-67, and Rating-7
Bangladesh: Match-30, Point-730, and Rating-24
Zimbabwe’s current Ranking is:
Match-27, Point-1122, and Rating-42
So, Rakibul was WRONG.
Bangladesh will NOT be able to be on top on Zimbabwe even by winning this series 4-0.
Because the rating gap between Bangladesh and Kenya is less than 40, the following rule will apply for rating calculation for this series:
a) If you win, you score 50 points more than your opponent's rating
b) If you lose, you score 50 points less than your opponent's rating
c) If you tie, you score your opponent's rating
