After beating Sri Lanka 5-0 in the recently concluded One Day International (ODI) series, South Africa have become the number 1 team in the world in ODI cricket. It was a very dominating performance by the Proteas as they gave no chance whatsoever to Lankan Lions and outplayed them in all three departments of the game, in 4 out of 5 matches. Sri Lanka gave only one good performance which came in the fourth ODI, in an otherwise one-sided series.

South Africa’s ODI captain AB de Villiers was delighted after becoming the number ODI team in the world and this is what he said:

“We are excited to be back at the top of the ICC ODI Team Rankings. We have had some trials since the World Cup two years ago but have worked hard to rebuild and to gain some form and consistency in this format.”

“It`s an important year for us with the ICC Champions Trophy in June and regaining the No.1 position is a step in the right direction for our preparation ahead of the event. It`s a tight contest at the top so it`ll be important for us to continue putting in the performances so that we can hold onto the position.”
