Understanding ICC T20 Rankings
What are ICC Rankings?
The International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 rankings determine the official standings of national cricket teams in Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket. These rankings are used to determine World Cup qualifications and seedings.
How Rankings Work
- Points System: Teams earn points for each match based on result
- Rating Calculation: Total points divided by matches played
- 12-Month Period: Only matches in last 12 months count
- Weighting: Recent matches have higher weightings
Point Calculation Factors
- •Pre-match ratings: Current ratings of both teams
- •Rating difference: Gap between team ratings
- •Match outcome: Win, loss, or tie result
- •Upset factor: Weaker teams gain more for beating stronger teams
Calculation Rules
Close Ratings (Difference less than 40):
• Winner gets: Opponent's rating + 50
• Loser gets: Opponent's rating - 50
• Tie: Both get opponent's rating
• Loser gets: Opponent's rating - 50
• Tie: Both get opponent's rating
Large Gap (Difference greater than 40):
• Stronger team wins: Own rating + 10
• Weaker team loses: Own rating - 10
• Upsets and ties have bigger swings (±40 or ±90)
• Weaker team loses: Own rating - 10
• Upsets and ties have bigger swings (±40 or ±90)
Pro Tip: The ICC ranking system rewards competitive matches and penalizes heavily when strong teams lose to weaker opponents. This encourages balanced competition and makes upsets highly valuable for ranking points.
