The team rankings ahead of the World Cup are encouraging for Pakistan and India, the Indian team will enter the World Cup ranked number one while Pakistan will be ranked number two.

The ODI team rankings of India and Pakistan will not matter before the World Cup starting on October 5.

Interestingly, it has also come to light that historically the statistics are in favor of Pakistan and India before the World Cup.

The teams that have won the World Cup since 1999 have the top two positions in the ranking.

When Australia won the World Cup in 1999, he was ranked second, similarly when Australia won the World Cup again in 2003 and 2007, he was at the top position.

After that, when India won the World Cup in 2011, it was ranked second before the event, while 2015 World Cup winner Australia and 2019 winner England were at the first position in the ranking.

Besides, being the host is also said to be a positive thing for India as the last 3 World Cups have been won by the host countries.

ICC started the rating system in 1981 but there was no rating system for the 1975 and 1979 World Cups.

1983 winner India was second and 1987 winner Australia was fourth while 1992 winner Pakistan was second and in 1996 Sri Lanka was sixth.
