New Delhi: Pakistan’s top spot in ICC T20 ranking could be danger if confident Kiwis emerge victorious in series decider, which is scheduled at the Green Field stadium in Trivandrum on Tuesday.

Pakistan climbed to the top of the table after New Zealand’s defeat to India in the T20 opener at Feroze Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi. But, the visitors bounced back in style in the second game, defeating India by 40 runs and leveled three-match T20 rubber 1-1.

A series win for the Kane Williamson side would garner them 7 massive points, taking their tally to 127 and dethrone Pakistan (124 points) from the top in just week’s time.

While, India will not be benefitting much, even if they take the series home. The Virat Kohli & Co. will still stand on fifth position with 119 points.
