New Zealand have reclaimed the number one spot in T20 international rankings after they won the series 2-0 with a win earlier in the day. The hosts won the third and final T20I by 119 runs and now have 126 points.

They went past Pakistan (124) and India (121) to take the top spot. Windies, after their poor performance, are now fifth on the table behind England. They lost five points in the series while New Zealand gained six.

New Zealand will now put their number-one ranking on the line when they will take on Pakistan in the three-match series to be played on 22, 25 and 28 January. To retain the top spot, the Kiwis will have to beat Pakistan by 2-1 or better. Their failure to win the series will mean Pakistan will be back at the top of the table.
