India has successfully retained its position as the No.1 team in the ICC T20I rankings, boasting 275 points. This achievement follows their historic victory in March 2023, where they became the first team to defend their T20 World Cup title and secured it for a record-extending third time while co-hosting the tournament with Sri Lanka. England ranks second with 262 points, and Australia is close behind in third with 258 points. The rankings reflect matches played since May 2025 at full weight and those from the previous two years at half weight. The top seven teams remain unchanged, with New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and the West Indies following suit. Notably, Sri Lanka has dropped to ninth place after losing six rating points, while Bangladesh has moved up to eighth. The overall number of ranked teams has decreased from 102 to 98, as some teams failed to play the required eight T20Is in the past three years.
