ICC Cricket World Cup Super League points table (updated) as on July 14
England inched closer to the 100-point mark in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League standings after whitewashing Pakistan at home.
Although most of England's star players were unavailable because of a COVID-19 outbreak in the squad, the Three Lions managed to record a 3-0 series win against Pakistan.
Playing under the captaincy of Ben Stokes, England beat Pakistan by nine wickets in Cardiff and followed it up with a 52-run victory at Lord's. The reigning ODI world champions completed a clean sweep by chasing a 332-run score in the final match in Birmingham.
Courtesy of their brilliant performance, Ben Stokes' men have cemented their first position in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League standings. Meanwhile, the Men in Green retained their fourth ranking.
Here's a look at the updated points table of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League after the England vs. Pakistan series.
The English team is now 45 points ahead of second-placed Bangladesh. It would not be wrong to say that the 2019 World Cup winners have almost punched their ticket to the 2023 Cricket World Cup by recording their ninth win in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.
